Axiom ax-ac2 10435

Description: In order to avoid uses of ax-reg 9542 for derivation of AC equivalents, we provide ax-ac2 10435, which is equivalent to the standard AC of textbooks. This appears to be the shortest known equivalent to the standard AC when expressed in terms of set theory primitives. It was found by Kurt Maes as Theorem ackm 10437. We removed the leading quantifier to make it slightly shorter, since we have ax-gen 1818 available. The derivation of ax-ac2 10435 from ax-ac 10431 is shown by Theorem axac2 10438, and the reverse derivation by axac 10439. Note that we use ax-reg 9542 to derive ax-ac 10431 from ax-ac2 10435, but not to derive ax-ac2 10435 from ax-ac 10431. (Contributed by NM, 19-Dec-2016.)
