| Theorem | aceqkm 4705 | Equivalence of the Axiom of Choice (first form) of [Enderton] p. 49 and Maes' AC ackm 4706. The proof consists of lemmas kmlem1 4689 through kmlem16 4704 and this final theorem. AC is not used for the proof. Note: bypassing the first step (i.e. replacing aceq5 4664 with pm4.2 170) establishes the AC equivalence shown by Mae's writeup. The left-hand-side AC shown here was chosen because it is shorter to display. |

| Definition | df-card 4740 | Define the cardinal number function. The cardinal number of a set is the least ordinal number equinumerous to it. In other words, it is the "size" of the set. Definition of [Enderton] p. 197. See cardval 4750 for its value, cardval2 4778 for a simpler version of its value. The principle theorem relating cardinality to equinumerosity is carden 4755. Our notation is from Enderton. Other textbooks often use a double bar over the set to express this function. |
| Definition | df-aleph 4741 | Define the aleph function. Our definition expresses Definition 12 of [Suppes] p. 229 in a closed form, from which we derive the recursive definition as theorems aleph0 4786, alephsuc 4789, and alephlim 4787. The aleph function provides a one-to-one, onto mapping from the ordinal numbers to the infinite cardinal numbers. Roughly, any aleph is the smallest infinite cardinal number whose size is strictly greater than any aleph before it. |

| Theorem | carden 4755 |
Two sets are equinumerous iff their cardinal numbers are equal. This
important theorem expresses the essential concept behind
"cardinality"
or "size." This theorem appears as Proposition 10.10 of [TakeutiZaring]
p. 85, Theorem 7P of [Enderton] p. 197,
and Theorem 9 of [Suppes] p. 242
(among others). The Axiom of Choice is required for its proof.
The theory of cardinality can also be developed without AC by introducing "card" as a primitive notion and stating this theorem as an axiom, as is done with the axiom for cardinal numbers in [Suppes] p. 111. Finally, if we allow the Axiom of Regularity, we can avoid AC by defining the cardinal number of a set as the set of all sets equinumerous to it and having least possible rank (see karden 4650). |
