Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

112 \(\Rightarrow\) 170 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 \(\Rightarrow\) 91	The Axiom of Choice, Jech, 1973b, page 133
91 \(\Rightarrow\) 79	clear
79 \(\Rightarrow\) 92	clear
92 \(\Rightarrow\) 170	Non-constructive properties of the real numbers, Howard, P. 2001, Math. Logic Quart.

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.
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.
92:	\(C(WO,{\Bbb R})\): Every well ordered family of non-empty subsets of \({\Bbb R}\) has a choice function.
170:	\(\aleph_{1}\le 2^{\aleph_{0}}\).
