Theorem	aleph0 10025	The first infinite cardinal number, discovered by Georg Cantor in 1873, has the same size as the set of natural numbers ω (and under our particular definition is also equal to it). In the literature, the argument of the aleph function is often written as a subscript, and the first aleph is written ℵ0. Exercise 3 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 91. Also Definition 12(i) of [Suppes] p. 228. From Moshé Machover, Set Theory, Logic, and Their Limitations, p. 95: "Aleph ... the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet ... is also the first letter of the Hebrew word ... (einsoph, meaning infinity), which is a cabbalistic appellation of the deity. The notation is due to Cantor, who was deeply interested in mysticism." (Contributed by NM, 21-Oct-2003.)

Here we express the successor aleph in terms of the Hartogs function df-har 9516, which gives the smallest ordinal that strictly dominates its argument (or the supremum of all ordinals that are dominated by the argument).

Theorem	alephsuc2 10039*	An alternate representation of a successor aleph. The aleph function is the function obtained from the hartogs 9503 function by transfinite recursion, starting from ω.

2.6.12  Axiom of Choice equivalents
Syntax	wac 10074	Wff for an abbreviation of the axiom of choice.
wff CHOICE
Definition	df-ac 10075*	The expression CHOICE will be used as a readable shorthand for any form of the axiom of choice; all concrete forms are long, cryptic, have dummy variables, or all three, making it useful to have a short name. Similar to the Axiom of Choice (first form) of [Enderton] p. 49. There is a slight problem with taking the exact form of ax-ac 10418 as our definition, because the equivalence to more standard forms (dfac2 10091) requires the Axiom of Regularity, which we often try to avoid. Thus, we take the first of the "textbook forms" as the definition and derive the form of ax-ac 10418 itself as dfac0 10093. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 22-Feb-2015.)

Theorem	dfac5 10088*	Equivalence of two versions of the Axiom of Choice. The right-hand side is Theorem 6M(4) of [Enderton] p. 151 and asserts that given a family of mutually disjoint nonempty sets, a set exists containing exactly one member from each set in the family. The proof does not depend on AC. (Contributed by NM, 11-Apr-2004.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 17-May-2015.)

Theorem	dfac2a 10089*	Our Axiom of Choice (in the form of ac3 10421) implies the Axiom of Choice (first form) of [Enderton] p. 49. The proof uses neither AC nor the Axiom of Regularity.

Theorem	dfac2b 10090*	Axiom of Choice (first form) of [Enderton] p. 49 implies our Axiom of Choice (in the form of ac3 10421). The proof does not make use of AC. Note that the Axiom of Regularity is used by the proof. Specifically, elneq 9557 and preleq 9575 that are referenced in the proof each make use of Regularity for their derivations. (The reverse implication can be derived without using Regularity; see dfac2a 10089.) (Contributed by NM, 5-Apr-2004.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 26-Jun-2015.) (Revised by AV, 16-Jun-2022.)
