Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

66 \(\Rightarrow\) 306 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

66 \(\Rightarrow\) 67	Existence of a basis implies the axiom of choice, Blass, A. 1984a, Contemporary Mathematics
67 \(\Rightarrow\) 89	On cardinals and their successors, Jech, T. 1966a, Bull. Acad. Polon. Sci. S'er. Sci. Math. Astronom. Phys.
89 \(\Rightarrow\) 90	The Axiom of Choice, Jech, 1973b, page 133
90 \(\Rightarrow\) 91	The Axiom of Choice, Jech, 1973b, page 133
91 \(\Rightarrow\) 305	Equivalents of the Axiom of Choice II, Rubin, 1985, theorem 5.7
305 \(\Rightarrow\) 306	Cardinality of the set of Vitali equivalence classes, Kanovei, V.G. 1991, Mat. Zametki

Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
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).
89:	Antichain Principle: Every partially ordered set has a maximal antichain. Jech [1973b], p 133.
90:	\(LW\): Every linearly ordered set can be well ordered. Jech [1973b], p 133.
91:	\(PW\): The power set of a well ordered set can be well ordered.
305:	There are \(2^{\aleph_0}\) Vitali equivalence classes. (Vitali equivalence classes are equivalence classes of the real numbers under the relation \(x\equiv y\leftrightarrow(\exists q\in{\Bbb Q})(x-y=q)\).). \ac{Kanovei} \cite{1991}.
306:	The set of Vitali equivalence classes is linearly orderable. (Vitali equivalence classes are equivalence classes of the real numbers under the relation \(x\equiv y\leftrightarrow (\exists q\in{\Bbb Q})(x-y = q)\).).
