Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

89 \(\Rightarrow\) 316 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
89 \(\Rightarrow\) 90	The Axiom of Choice, Jech, 1973b, page 133
90 \(\Rightarrow\) 51	Variations of Zorn's lemma, principles of cofinality, and Hausdorff's maximal principle, Part I and II, Harper, J. 1976, Notre Dame J. Formal Logic
51 \(\Rightarrow\) 316	Well ordered subsets of linearly ordered sets, Howard, P. 1994, Notre Dame J. Formal Logic

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
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.
316:	If a linearly ordered set \((A,\le)\) has the fixed point property then \((A,\le)\) is complete. (\((A,\le)\) has the fixed point property if every function \(f:A\to A\) satisfying \((x\le y \Rightarrow f(x)\le f(y))\) has a fixed point, and (\((A,\le)\) is complete if every subset of \(A\) has a least upper bound.)
