Theorem	dfackm 10207*	Equivalence of the Axiom of Choice and Maes' AC ackm 10505. The proof consists of lemmas kmlem1 10191 through kmlem16 10206 and this final theorem. AC is not used for the proof. Note: bypassing the first step (i.e., replacing dfac5 10169 with biid 261) establishes the AC equivalence shown by Maes' writeup. The left-hand-side AC shown here was chosen because it is shorter to display. (Contributed by NM, 13-Apr-2004.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 17-May-2015.)

2.6.13  Cardinal number arithmetic For cardinal arithmetic, we follow [Mendelson] p. 258. Rather than defining operations restricted to cardinal numbers, we use disjoint union df-dju 9941 (⊔) for cardinal addition, Cartesian product df-xp 5691 (×) for cardinal multiplication, and set exponentiation df-map 8868 (↑m) for cardinal exponentiation. Equinumerosity and dominance serve the roles of equality and ordering. If we wanted to, we could easily convert our theorems to actual cardinal number operations via carden 10591, carddom 10594, and cardsdom 10595. The advantage of Mendelson's approach is that we can directly use many equinumerosity theorems that we already have available.

Theorem	dju1p1e2 10214	1+1=2 for cardinal number addition, derived from pm54.43 10041 as promised. Theorem *110.643 of Principia Mathematica, vol. II, p. 86, which adds the remark, "The above proposition is occasionally useful." Whitehead and Russell define cardinal addition on collections of all sets equinumerous to 1 and 2 (which for us are proper classes unless we restrict them as in karden 9935), but after applying definitions, our theorem is equivalent. Because we use a disjoint union for cardinal addition (as explained in the comment at the top of this section), we use ≈ instead of =. See dju1p1e2ALT 10215 for a shorter proof that doesn't use pm54.43 10041. (Contributed by NM, 5-Apr-2007.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	cfval 10287*	Value of the cofinality function. Definition B of Saharon Shelah, Cardinal Arithmetic (1994), p. xxx (Roman numeral 30). The cofinality of an ordinal number 𝐴 is the cardinality (size) of the smallest unbounded subset 𝑦 of the ordinal number. Unbounded means that for every member of 𝐴, there is a member of 𝑦 that is at least as large. Cofinality is a measure of how "reachable from below" an ordinal is. (Contributed by NM, 1-Apr-2004.)
