2.4  IZF Set Theory - add the Axiom of Union
2.4.1  Introduce the Axiom of Union
Axiom	ax-un 4528*	Axiom of Union. An axiom of Intuitionistic Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. It states that a set y exists that includes the union of a given set x i.e. the collection of all members of the members of x. The variant axun2 4530 states that the union itself exists. A version with the standard abbreviation for union is uniex2 4531. A version using class notation is uniex 4532. This is Axiom 3 of [Crosilla] p. "Axioms of CZF and IZF", except (a) unnecessary quantifiers are removed, (b) Crosilla has a biconditional rather than an implication (but the two are equivalent by bm1.3ii 4208), and (c) the order of the conjuncts is swapped (which is equivalent by ancom 266). The union of a class df-uni 3892 should not be confused with the union of two classes df-un 3202. Their relationship is shown in unipr 3905. (Contributed by NM, 23-Dec-1993.)
|- E. y A. z ( E. w ( z e. w /\ w e. x ) -> z e. y )
Theorem	zfun 4529*	Axiom of Union expressed with the fewest number of different variables. (Contributed by NM, 14-Aug-2003.)
|- E. x A. y ( E. x ( y e. x /\ x e. z ) -> y e. x )
Theorem	axun2 4530*	A variant of the Axiom of Union ax-un 4528. For any set x, there exists a set y whose members are exactly the members of the members of x i.e. the union of x. Axiom Union of [BellMachover] p. 466. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jun-2006.)
|- E. y A. z ( z e. y <-> E. w ( z e. w /\ w e. x ) )
Theorem	uniex2 4531*	The Axiom of Union using the standard abbreviation for union. Given any set x, its union y exists. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jun-2006.)
|- E. y y = U. x
Theorem	uniex 4532	The Axiom of Union in class notation. This says that if A is a set i.e. A e. _V (see isset 2807), then the union of A is also a set. Same as Axiom 3 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 16. (Contributed by NM, 11-Aug-1993.)
|- A e. _V   =>    |- U. A e. _V
Theorem	vuniex 4533	The union of a setvar is a set. (Contributed by BJ, 3-May-2021.)
|- U. x e. _V
Theorem	uniexg 4534	The ZF Axiom of Union in class notation, in the form of a theorem instead of an inference. We use the antecedent A e. V instead of A e. _V to make the theorem more general and thus shorten some proofs; obviously the universal class constant _V is one possible substitution for class variable V. (Contributed by NM, 25-Nov-1994.)
|- ( A e. V -> U. A e. _V )
Theorem	uniexd 4535	Deduction version of the ZF Axiom of Union in class notation. (Contributed by Glauco Siliprandi, 26-Jun-2021.)

|- ( A e. B -> U. { x e. B | x = A } = A )
Theorem	abnexg 4541*	Sufficient condition for a class abstraction to be a proper class. The class F can be thought of as an expression in x and the abstraction appearing in the statement as the class of values F as x varies through A. Assuming the antecedents, if that class is a set, then so is the "domain" A. The converse holds without antecedent, see abrexexg 6275. Note that the second antecedent A. x e. A x e. F cannot be translated to A C_ F since F may depend on x. In applications, one may take F = { x } or F = ~P x (see snnex 4543 and pwnex 4544 respectively, proved from abnex 4542, which is a consequence of abnexg 4541 with A = _V).
