| Description: Two sets are equinumerous
iff their cardinal numbers are equal. This
important theorem expresses the essential concept behind
"cardinality" or
"size". This theorem appears as Proposition 10.10 of [TakeutiZaring]
p. 85, Theorem 7P of [Enderton] p. 197,
and Theorem 9 of [Suppes] p. 242
(among others). The Axiom of Choice is required for its proof. Related
theorems are hasheni 14387 and the finite-set-only hashen 14386.
This theorem is also known as Hume's Principle. Gottlob Frege's two-volume Grundgesetze der Arithmetik used his Basic Law V to prove this theorem. Unfortunately Basic Law V caused Frege's system to be inconsistent because it was subject to Russell's paradox (see ru 3786). Later scholars have found that Frege primarily used Basic Law V to Hume's Principle. If Basic Law V is replaced by Hume's Principle in Frege's system, much of Frege's work is restored. Grundgesetze der Arithmetik, once Basic Law V is replaced, proves "Frege's theorem" (the Peano axioms of arithmetic can be derived in second-order logic from Hume's principle). See https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/frege-theorem 3786. We take a different approach, using first-order logic and ZFC, to prove the Peano axioms of arithmetic. The theory of cardinality can also be developed without AC by introducing "card" as a primitive notion and stating this theorem as an axiom, as is done with the axiom for cardinal numbers in [Suppes] p. 111. Finally, if we allow the Axiom of Regularity, we can avoid AC by defining the cardinal number of a set as the set of all sets equinumerous to it and having the least possible rank (see karden 9935).
