Theorem ac2 10217
Description: Axiom of Choice equivalent. By using restricted quantifiers, we can express the Axiom of Choice with a single explicit conjunction. (If you want to figure it out, the rewritten equivalent ac3 10218 is easier to understand.) Note: aceq0 9874 shows the logical equivalence to ax-ac 10215. (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 18-Jul-1996.)
Assertion
Ref Expression
ac2 𝑦𝑧𝑥𝑤𝑧 ∃!𝑣𝑧𝑢𝑦 (𝑧𝑢𝑣𝑢)
Distinct variable group:   𝑥,𝑦,𝑧,𝑤,𝑣,𝑢

Proof of Theorem ac2
Dummy variable 𝑡 is distinct from all other variables.
StepHypRef Expression
1 ax-ac 10215 . 2 𝑦𝑧𝑤((𝑧𝑤𝑤𝑥) → ∃𝑣𝑢(∃𝑡((𝑢𝑤𝑤𝑡) ∧ (𝑢𝑡𝑡𝑦)) ↔ 𝑢 = 𝑣))
