Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

427 \(\Rightarrow\) 130 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
427 \(\Rightarrow\) 67	clear
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 \(\Rightarrow\) 130	Equivalents of the Axiom of Choice II, Rubin, 1985, theorem 5.7

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
427:	\(\exists F\) AL20(\(F\)): There is a field \(F\) such that every vector space \(V\) over \(F\) has the property that every independent subset of \(V\) can be extended to a basis. \ac{Bleicher} \cite{1964}, \ac{Rubin, H.\/Rubin, J \cite{1985, p.119, AL20}.
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.
130:	\({\cal P}(\Bbb R)\) is well orderable.
