Statement
Theorem	ac6s5 10401*	Generalization of the Axiom of Choice to proper classes. 𝐵 is a collection 𝐵(𝑥) of nonempty, possible proper classes. Remark after Theorem 10.46 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 98. (Contributed by NM, 27-Mar-2006.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ (∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 𝐵 ≠ ∅ → ∃𝑓∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 (𝑓‘𝑥) ∈ 𝐵)
Theorem	ac8 10402*	An Axiom of Choice equivalent. Given a family 𝑥 of mutually disjoint nonempty sets, there exists a set 𝑦 containing exactly one member from each set in the family. Theorem 6M(4) of [Enderton] p. 151. (Contributed by NM, 14-May-2004.)
⊢ ((∀𝑧 ∈ 𝑥 𝑧 ≠ ∅ ∧ ∀𝑧 ∈ 𝑥 ∀𝑤 ∈ 𝑥 (𝑧 ≠ 𝑤 → (𝑧 ∩ 𝑤) = ∅)) → ∃𝑦∀𝑧 ∈ 𝑥 ∃!𝑣 𝑣 ∈ (𝑧 ∩ 𝑦))
Theorem	ac9s 10403*	An Axiom of Choice equivalent: the infinite Cartesian product of nonempty classes is nonempty. Axiom of Choice (second form) of [Enderton] p. 55 and its converse. This is a stronger version of the axiom in Enderton, with no existence requirement for the family of classes 𝐵(𝑥) (achieved via the Collection Principle cp 9803). (Contributed by NM, 29-Sep-2006.)

Theorem	carden 10461	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 14271 and the finite-set-only hashen 14270. 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 3738). 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 3738. 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 9807).

Theorem	konigth 10480*	Konig's Theorem. If 𝑚(𝑖) ≺ 𝑛(𝑖) for all 𝑖 ∈ 𝐴, then Σ𝑖 ∈ 𝐴𝑚(𝑖) ≺ ∏𝑖 ∈ 𝐴𝑛(𝑖), where the sums and products stand in for disjoint union and infinite cartesian product. The version here is proven with unions rather than disjoint unions for convenience, but the version with disjoint unions is clearly a special case of this version. The Axiom of Choice is needed for this proof, but it contains AC as a simple corollary (letting 𝑚(𝑖) = ∅, this theorem says that an infinite cartesian product of nonempty sets is nonempty), so this is an AC equivalent.

Theorem	alephom 10496	From canth2 9058, we know that (ℵ‘0) < (2↑ω), but we cannot prove that (2↑ω) = (ℵ‘1) (this is the Continuum Hypothesis), nor can we prove that it is less than any bound whatsoever (i.e. the statement (ℵ‘𝐴) < (2↑ω) is consistent for any ordinal 𝐴). However, we can prove that (2↑ω) is not equal to (ℵ‘ω), nor (ℵ‘(ℵ‘ω)), on cofinality grounds, because by Konig's Theorem konigth 10480 (in the form of cfpwsdom 10495), (2↑ω) has uncountable cofinality, which eliminates limit alephs like (ℵ‘ω). (The first limit aleph that is not eliminated is (ℵ‘(ℵ‘1)), which has cofinality (ℵ‘1).) (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 21-Mar-2013.)
