Implications

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

334 \(\Rightarrow\) 139
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
334:

\(MC(\infty,\infty,\hbox{ even})\): For every set \(X\) of  sets such that for all \(x\in X\), \(|x|\ge 2\), there is a function \(f\) such that  for every \(x\in X\), \(f(x)\) is a finite, non-empty subset of \(x\) and \(|f(x)|\) is even.

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.

139:

Using the discrete topology on 2, \(2^{\cal P(\omega)}\) is compact.
