Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

168 $\Rightarrow$ 388 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

100 $\Rightarrow$ 347	Partition principles and infinite sums of cardinal numbers, Higasikawa, M. 1995, Notre Dame J. Formal Logic
347 $\Rightarrow$ 40	Partition principles and infinite sums of cardinal numbers, Higasikawa, M. 1995, Notre Dame J. Formal Logic

43 $\Rightarrow$ 388

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
168:	Dual Cantor-Bernstein Theorem:$(\forall x) (\forall y)(\|x\| \le^\|y\|$ and $\|y\|\le^ \|x\|$ implies $\|x\| = \|y\|)$ .
100:	Weak Partition Principle: For all sets $x$ and $y$, if $x\precsim^* y$, then it is not the case that $y\prec x$.
347:	Idemmultiple Partition Principle: If $y$ is idemmultiple ($2\times y\approx y$) and $x\precsim ^* y$, then $x\precsim y$.
40:	$C(WO,\infty)$: Every well orderable set of non-empty sets has a choice function. Moore, G. [1982], p 325.
43:	$DC(\omega)$ (DC), Principle of Dependent Choices: If $S$ is a relation on a non-empty set $A$ and $(\forall x\in A) (\exists y\in A)(x S y)$ then there is a sequence $a(0), a(1), a(2), \ldots$ of elements of $A$ such that $(\forall n\in\omega)(a(n)\mathrel S a(n+1))$. See Tarski [1948], p 96, Levy [1964], p. 136.
388:	Every infinite branching poset (a partially ordered set in which each element has at least two lower bounds) has either an infinite chain or an infinite antichain.

100:	Weak Partition Principle: For all sets \(x\) and \(y\), if \(x\precsim^* y\), then it is not the case that \(y\prec x\).
347:	Idemmultiple Partition Principle: If \(y\) is idemmultiple (\(2\times y\approx y\)) and \(x\precsim ^* y\), then \(x\precsim y\).
