Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

1 \(\Rightarrow\) 107 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
1 \(\Rightarrow\) 107	Distinct representatives of subsets, Hall, M. 1948, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
1:	\(C(\infty,\infty)\): The Axiom of Choice: Every set of non-empty sets has a choice function.
107:	M. Hall's Theorem: Let \(\{S(\alpha): \alpha\in A\}\) be a collection of finite subsets (of a set \(X\)) then if () for each finite \(F \subseteq A\) there is an injective choice function on \(F\) then there is an injective choice function on \(A\). (That is, a 1-1 function \(f\) such that \((\forall\alpha\in A)(f(\alpha)\in S(\alpha))\).) (According to a theorem of P. Hall (\(\)) is equivalent to \(\left \|\bigcup_{\alpha\in F} S(\alpha)\right\|\ge \|F\|\). P. Hall's theorem does not require the axiom of choice.)
