The following definitions and results for forms [8 M], [8 N], [43 Q], [126 B] through [126 F] are from Keremedis [2000a].

Let \((X,T)\) be a topological space. \(B\subseteq T-\{\emptyset\}\) is said to be a \(\pi\)-base for \(X\) if every non-empty element of \(T\) includes an element of \(B\). Let \((P,\le)\) be a partially ordered set (poset).

  1. A subset \(D\subseteq P\) is set to be dense if every element of \(P\) has a lower bound in \(D\). \(D\) is said to be open if it is open in the order topology.
  2. An element \(a\in P\) is said to be an atom if every pair of lower bounds of \(a\) are compatible (have a common lower bound).
  3. If \(P\) has no atoms it is called atomless. A pairwise incompatible subset of \(P\) is called an antichain.
  4. Let \(D=\{D_i: i\in\omega\}\) be a denumerable family of dense open sets in \(P\). \(C=\{C_i: i\in\omega\}\), \(\bigcup C=\omega\) is called a matrix for \(D\) if the following three condition are satisfied:
    1. \(\forall i\in\omega\) \(C_i\) is a countable antichain in \(P\).
    2. \(\forall i\in\omega\), \(\forall j>i\), \(\forall c\in C_i\) there exist infinitely many \(t\in C_j\) such that \(t\le c\).
    3. \(\forall i\in\omega\), \(\forall j\in\omega\),all but finitely many element of \(C_j\) belong to \(D_i\).
Let \(A=\{A_i: i\in I\}\) be a family of non-empty sets.
  1. \(A\) has the strong finite intersection property, sfip if for each finite \(Q\subseteq A\), \(|\bigcap Q|\ge\omega\).
  2. An infinite subset \(S\) of \(A\) is a pseudo-intersection if \(|S-A_i|<\omega\) for all \(i\in I\).

The following statements are considered:

  • \(MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty)\): For every denumerable family \(A\) of pairwise disjoint non-empty sets, there exists a set \(C\) such that for all \(a\in A\), \(0<|C\cap a|\le\omega\).
  • \(pseudo(\omega)\) ([126 F]) : Every denumerable family of sets having the sfip also has a pseudo-intersection.
  • \(DP\): If \((X,T)\) is a topological space having a countable \(\pi\)-base,then for every family \(D=\{D_i: i\in\omega\}\) of dense open sets of \(X\), there is a countable dense set \(S\subseteq X\) such that for all \(i\in\omega\) and for all but finitely many \(s\in S\), \(s\in D_i\). (\(DP\) is form [8 N]).
  • \(DP^*\) ([126 E]): If \((X,T)\) is a topological space, then for every family \(D=\{D_i: i\in\omega\}\) of dense open sets of \(X\), there is a countable dense set \(S\subseteq X\) such that for all \(i\in\omega\) and for all but finitely many \(s\in S\), \(s\in D_i\).
  • \(WCMC\) ([126 D]): For every denumerable family \(A\) of disjoint non-empty sets there is a set \(C\subset\bigcup A\) such that for every \(a\in A\) ,\(0\le|C\cap a|<\omega\).
  • \(FSCB\): Every separable first countable space \((X,T)\) has a countable \(\pi\)-base.
  • \(Matrix(\omega)\): For every atomless poset \((P,\le)\) and every family \(D=\{D_i: i\in\omega\}\) of dense open subsets of \(P\), there exists a matrix \(C=\{C_i: i\in\omega\}\), \(|\bigcup C|=\omega\) of \(P\) for \(D\). (\(Matrix(\omega)\) is form [43 Q].)

Results:

  1. \(MC(\aleph_0,\infty)\) (Form 126) \(\leftrightarrow MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty) + MC(\aleph_0,\aleph_0)\) (Form 360). (The conjunction \(MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty) + MC(\aleph_0,\aleph_0)\) is form [126 B].)
  2. \(C(\aleph_0,\infty)\) (Form 8) \(\leftrightarrow MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty) + C(\aleph_0,\aleph_0)\) (Form 32).(The conjunction \(MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty) + C(\aleph_0,\aleph_0)\)is form [8 M].)
  3. \(C(\aleph_0,\infty)\) (Form 8) \(\leftrightarrow DP\) (form [8 N]).
  4. \(MC(\aleph_0,\infty)\) (Form 126)\(\leftrightarrow WCMC\) ([126 D]).
    (Clearly, \(MC(\aleph_0,\infty)\to WCMC\). Let \(X=\{A_n: n\in\omega\}\) be a denumerable set of pairwise disjoint non-empty sets. For each \(n\in\omega\), let \(B_n=A_0\times A_1\times\cdots\times A_n\) and let \(B=\{B_n: n\in\omega\}\). Let \(C=\{B_{n_i}: n_i\in\omega\}\) be a denumerable subset of \(B\) which has a multiple choice function \(f\). The function \(f\) can be used to construct a choice function on \(A\). This result was noted by K. Keremedis.)
  5. \(WCMC\) ([126 D])\(\leftrightarrow DP^*\) ([126 E])\(\leftrightarrow pseudo(\omega)\) ([126 F]).
  6. \(MC(\aleph_0,\infty)\) (Form 126) \(\leftrightarrow FSCB + MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty)\). (The conjunction \(FSCB +MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty)\) is form [126 C].)
  7. \(DC(\omega)\) (the Principle of Dependent Choices (Form 43)) \(\leftrightarrow Matrix(\omega)\) (form [43 Q]).
