Implications

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

218 \(\Rightarrow\) 206
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
218:

\((\forall n\in\omega - \{0\}) MC(\infty,\infty \), relatively prime to \(n\)): \(\forall n\in\omega -\{0\}\), if \(X\) is a set of non-empty sets, then  there  is  a function \(f\) such that for all \(x\in X\), \(f(x)\) is a non-empty, finite subset of \(x\) and \(|f(x)|\) is relatively prime to \(n\).

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.

79:

\({\Bbb R}\) can be well ordered.  Hilbert [1900], p 263.

70:

There is a non-trivial ultrafilter on \(\omega\). Jech [1973b], prob 5.24.

206:

The existence of a non-principal ultrafilter: There exists an infinite set \(X\) and a non-principal ultrafilter on \(X\).
