Description: Equivalent of Axiom of
Choice. We do not insist that 𝑓 be a
function. However, Theorem ac5 10468, derived from this one, shows that
this form of the axiom does imply that at least one such set 𝑓 whose
existence we assert is in fact a function. Axiom of Choice of
[TakeutiZaring] p. 83.
Takeuti and Zaring call this "weak choice" in contrast to "strong choice" ∃𝐹∀𝑧(𝑧 ≠ ∅ → (𝐹‘𝑧) ∈ 𝑧), which asserts the existence of a universal choice function but requires second-order quantification on (proper) class variable 𝐹 and thus cannot be expressed in our first-order formalization. However, it has been shown that ZF plus strong choice is a conservative extension of ZF plus weak choice. See Ulrich Felgner, "Comparison of the axioms of local and universal choice", Fundamenta Mathematica, 71, 43-62 (1971). Weak choice can be strengthened in a different direction to choose from a collection of proper classes; see ac6s5 10482. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jul-1996.) |
