We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:
| Implication | Reference |
|---|---|
| 3 \(\Rightarrow\) 4 |
Russell's alternative to the axiom of choice, Howard, P. 1992, Z. Math. Logik Grundlagen Math. Cardinal addition and the axiom of choice, Howard, P. 1974, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. note-27 |
| 4 \(\Rightarrow\) 405 | clear |
| 405 \(\Rightarrow\) 75 | clear |
Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:
| Howard-Rubin Number | Statement |
|---|---|
| 3: | \(2m = m\): For all infinite cardinals \(m\), \(2m = m\). |
| 4: | Every infinite set is the union of some disjoint family of denumerable subsets. (Denumerable means \(\cong \aleph_0\).) |
| 405: | Every infinite set can be partitioned into sets each of which is countable and has at least two elements. |
| 75: | If a set has at least two elements, then it can be partitioned into well orderable subsets, each of which has at least two elements. |
