Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

427 \(\Rightarrow\) 119 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
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.
118:	Every linearly orderable topological space is normal. Birkhoff [1967], p 241.
119:	van Douwen's choice principle: \(C(\aleph_{0}\),uniformly orderable with order type of the integers): Suppose \(\{ A_{i}: i\in\omega\}\) is a set and there is a function \(f\) such that for each \(i\in\omega,\ f(i)\) is an ordering of \(A_{i}\) of type \(\omega^{*}+\omega\) (the usual ordering of the integers), then \(\{A_{i}: i\in\omega\}\) has a choice function.
