8: Baire [1899]. 5: Cantor. 5. The Axiom of Choice and Cardinal Arithmetic The Axiom of Choice Axiom of Choice (AC). Every family of nonempty sets has a choice function. 1) f (X) ∈ X for every X ∈ S. 1). , a choice function) without defining it (unlike, for instance, the Axiom of Pairing or the Axiom of Power Set). Thus it is often interesting to know whether a mathematical statement can be proved without using the Axiom of Choice. It turns out that the Axiom of Choice is independent of the other axioms of set theory and that many mathematical theorems are unprovable in ZF without AC.
There are numerous examples of proofs using Zorn’s Lemma. To mention only of few: Every vector space has a basis. Every field has a unique algebraic closure. The Hahn-Banach Extension Theorem. Tikhonov’s Product Theorem for compact spaces. The Countable Axiom of Choice Many important consequences of the Axiom of Choice, particularly many concerning the real numbers, can be proved from a weaker version of the Axiom of Choice. The Countable Axiom of Choice. Every countable family of nonempty sets has a choice function.
12. cf(2ℵα ) > ℵα . 5. The Axiom of Choice and Cardinal Arithmetic Proof. It suffices to show that if κi < 2ℵα for i < ωα , then Let λi = 2ℵα . κi < λi = (2ℵα )ℵα = 2ℵα . i<ωα i<ωα 55 κi < 2ℵα . 13. cf(ℵαβ ) > ℵβ . ℵ ℵ Proof. We show that if κi < ℵαβ for i < ωβ , then i<ωβ ℵ λi = ℵαβ . ℵ i<ωβ ℵβ λi = (ℵαβ ) κi < κi < ℵαβ . Let ℵ = ℵαβ . 14. κcf κ > κ for every infinite cardinal κ. Proof. Let κi < κ, i < cf κ, be such that κ = κ= κi . Then κ = κcf κ . 1 states that 2ℵα > ℵα , and therefore 2ℵα ≥ ℵα+1 , for all α.
