Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

95-F \(\Rightarrow\) 108 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
95-F:	Existence of Complementary Subspaces over a Field \(F\): If \(F\) is a field, then every vector space \(V\) over \(F\) has the property that if \(S\subseteq V\) is a subspace of \(V\), then there is a subspace \(S'\subseteq V\) such that \(S\cap S'= \{0\}\) and \(S\cup S'\) generates \(V\). H. Rubin/J. Rubin [1985], pp 119ff, and Jech [1973b], p 148 prob 10.4.
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.
51:	Cofinality Principle: Every linear ordering has a cofinal sub well ordering. Sierpi\'nski [1918], p 117.
25:	\(\aleph _{\beta +1}\) is regular for all ordinals \(\beta\).
34:	\(\aleph_{1}\) is regular.
38:	\({\Bbb R}\) is not the union of a countable family of countable sets.
108:	There is an ordinal \(\alpha\) such that \(2^{\aleph _{\alpha}}\) is not the union of a denumerable set of denumerable sets.
