Theorem	infm 7201*	An infinite set is inhabited. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 18-Feb-2022.)
|- ( om ~<_ A -> E. x x e. A )
Theorem	infn0 7202	An infinite set is not empty. (Contributed by NM, 23-Oct-2004.)
|- ( om ~<_ A -> A =/= (/) )
Theorem	inffiexmid 7203*	If any given set is either finite or infinite, excluded middle follows. For another example, ~P 1o is not infinite, by pw1ninf 16935, but also cannot be shown to be finite by pw1fin 7207. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 15-Jun-2022.)
|- ( x e. Fin \/ om ~<_ x )   =>    |- ( ph \/ -. ph )
Theorem	en2eqpr 7204	Building a set with two elements. (Contributed by FL, 11-Aug-2008.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 10-Sep-2015.)
|- ( ( C ~~ 2o /\ A e. C /\ B e. C ) -> ( A =/= B -> C = { A , B } ) )
Theorem	exmidpw 7205	Excluded middle is equivalent to the power set of 1o having two elements. Remark of [PradicBrown2022], p. 2. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 30-Jun-2022.)
|- (EXMID <-> ~P 1o ~~ 2o )
Theorem	exmidpweq 7206	Excluded middle is equivalent to the power set of 1o being 2o. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 28-Jul-2024.)
|- (EXMID <-> ~P 1o = 2o )
Theorem	pw1fin 7207	Excluded middle is equivalent to the power set of 1o being finite. (Contributed by SN and Jim Kingdon, 7-Aug-2024.)
|- (EXMID <-> ~P 1o e. Fin )
Theorem	pw1dc0el 7208	Another equivalent of excluded middle, which is a mere reformulation of the definition. (Contributed by BJ, 9-Aug-2024.)
|- (EXMID <-> A. x e. ~P 1oDECID (/) e. x )
Theorem	exmidpw2en 7209	The power set of a set being equinumerous to set exponentiation with a base of ordinal 2o is equivalent to excluded middle. This is Metamath 100 proof #52. The forward direction uses excluded middle expressed as EXMID to show this equinumerosity. The reverse direction is the one which establishes that power set being equinumerous to set exponentiation implies excluded middle. This resolves the question of whether we will be able to prove this equinumerosity theorem in the negative. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 13-Aug-2022.)
|- (EXMID <-> A. x ~P x ~~ ( 2o ^m x ) )
Theorem	ss1o0el1o 7210	Reformulation of ss1o0el1 4329 using 1o instead of { (/) }. (Contributed by BJ, 9-Aug-2024.)

Theorem	pw1dc1 7211	If, in the set of truth values (the powerset of 1o), equality to 1o is decidable, then excluded middle holds (and conversely). (Contributed by BJ and Jim Kingdon, 8-Aug-2024.)

Theorem	fiintim 7228*	If a class is closed under pairwise intersections, then it is closed under nonempty finite intersections. The converse would appear to require an additional condition, such as x and y not being equal, or A having decidable equality. This theorem is applicable to a topology, which (among other axioms) is closed under finite intersections. Some texts use a pairwise intersection and some texts use a finite intersection, but most topology texts assume excluded middle (in which case the two intersection properties would be equivalent).

Theorem	isbth 7274	Schroeder-Bernstein Theorem. Theorem 18 of [Suppes] p. 95. This theorem states that if set A is smaller (has lower cardinality) than B and vice-versa, then A and B are equinumerous (have the same cardinality). The interesting thing is that this can be proved without invoking the Axiom of Choice, as we do here, but the proof as you can see is quite difficult. (The theorem can be proved more easily if we allow AC.) The main proof consists of lemmas sbthlem1 7264 through sbthlemi10 7273; this final piece mainly changes bound variables to eliminate the hypotheses of sbthlemi10 7273. We follow closely the proof in Suppes, which you should consult to understand our proof at a higher level. Note that Suppes' proof, which is credited to J. M. Whitaker, does not require the Axiom of Infinity. The proof does require the law of the excluded middle which cannot be avoided as shown at exmidsbthr 16973. (Contributed by NM, 8-Jun-1998.)

Theorem	fsuppcorn 7291	The composition of a 1-1 function with a finitely supported function is finitely supported. The purpose of the ( F supp Z ) C_ ran G condition is to ensure we don't subset the support of the function in such a way as to fun afoul of exmidssfi 7236. (Other alternative conditions might also be sufficient). (Contributed by AV, 28-May-2019.) (Revised by Jim Kingdon, 15-May-2026.)

Syntax	cfi 7292	Extend class notation with the function whose value is the class of finite intersections of the elements of a given set.
class fi
Definition	df-fi 7293*	Function whose value is the class of finite intersections of the elements of the argument. Note that the empty intersection being the universal class, hence a proper class, it cannot be an element of that class. Therefore, the function value is the class of nonempty finite intersections of elements of the argument (see elfi2 7296). (Contributed by FL, 27-Apr-2008.)
