Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

391 \(\Rightarrow\) 51 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
391 \(\Rightarrow\) 112	clear
112 \(\Rightarrow\) 90	Equivalents of the Axiom of Choice II, Rubin/Rubin, 1985, page 79
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

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
391:	\(C(\infty,LO)\): Every set of non-empty linearly orderable sets has a choice function.
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.
51:	Cofinality Principle: Every linear ordering has a cofinal sub well ordering. Sierpi\'nski [1918], p 117.
