Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

112 \(\Rightarrow\) 118 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
112 \(\Rightarrow\) 90	Equivalents of the Axiom of Choice II, Rubin/Rubin, 1985, page 79
90 \(\Rightarrow\) 118	Horrors of topology without AC: A non-normal orderable space, van Douwen, E.K. 1985, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
112:	\(MC(\infty,LO)\): For every family \(X\) of non-empty sets each of which can be linearly ordered there is a function \(f\) such that for all \(y\in X\), \(f(y)\) is a non-empty finite subset of \(y\).
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.
