We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:
| Implication | Reference |
|---|---|
| 109 \(\Rightarrow\) 66 | clear |
| 66 \(\Rightarrow\) 67 |
Existence of a basis implies the axiom of choice, Blass, A. 1984a, Contemporary Mathematics |
| 67 \(\Rightarrow\) 144 |
Axioms of multiple choice, Levy, A. 1962, Fund. Math. |
| 144 \(\Rightarrow\) 125 |
P-Raüme and Auswahlaxiom, Brunner, N. 1984c, Rend. Circ. Mat. Palermo. |
Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:
| Howard-Rubin Number | Statement |
|---|---|
| 109: | Every field \(F\) and every vector space \(V\) over \(F\) has the property that each linearly independent set \(A\subseteq V\) can be extended to a basis. H.Rubin/J.~Rubin [1985], pp 119ff. |
| 66: | Every vector space over a field has a basis. |
| 67: | \(MC(\infty,\infty)\) \((MC)\), The Axiom of Multiple Choice: For every set \(M\) of non-empty sets there is a function \(f\) such that \((\forall x\in M)(\emptyset\neq f(x)\subseteq x\) and \(f(x)\) is finite). |
| 144: | Every set is almost well orderable. |
| 125: | There does not exist an infinite, compact connected \(p\) space. (A \(p\) space is a \(T_2\) space in which the intersection of any well orderable family of open sets is open.) |
