Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

112 \(\Rightarrow\) 35 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 \(\Rightarrow\) 94	clear
94 \(\Rightarrow\) 35	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.
94:	\(C(\aleph_{0},\infty,{\Bbb R})\): Every denumerable family of non-empty sets of reals has a choice function. Jech [1973b], p 148 prob 10.1.
35:	The union of countably many meager subsets of \({\Bbb R}\) is meager. (Meager sets are the same as sets of the first category.) Jech [1973b] p 7 prob 1.7.
