Theorem	axdc2lem 10401*	Lemma for axdc2 10402. We construct a relation 𝑅 based on 𝐹 such that 𝑥𝑅𝑦 iff 𝑦 ∈ (𝐹‘𝑥), and show that the "function" described by ax-dc 10399 can be restricted so that it is a real function (since the stated properties only show that it is the superset of a function). (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 25-Jan-2013.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 26-Jun-2015.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝑅 = {⟨𝑥, 𝑦⟩ ∣ (𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∧ 𝑦 ∈ (𝐹‘𝑥))}    &   ⊢ 𝐺 = (𝑥 ∈ ω ↦ (ℎ‘𝑥))    ⇒   ⊢ ((𝐴 ≠ ∅ ∧ 𝐹:𝐴⟶(𝒫 𝐴 ∖ {∅})) → ∃𝑔(𝑔:ω⟶𝐴 ∧ ∀𝑘 ∈ ω (𝑔‘suc 𝑘) ∈ (𝐹‘(𝑔‘𝑘))))
Theorem	axdc2 10402*	An apparent strengthening of ax-dc 10399 (but derived from it) which shows that there is a denumerable sequence 𝑔 for any function that maps elements of a set 𝐴 to nonempty subsets of 𝐴 such that 𝑔(𝑥 + 1) ∈ 𝐹(𝑔(𝑥)) for all 𝑥 ∈ ω. The finitistic version of this can be proven by induction, but the infinite version requires this new axiom. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 25-Jan-2013.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ ((𝐴 ≠ ∅ ∧ 𝐹:𝐴⟶(𝒫 𝐴 ∖ {∅})) → ∃𝑔(𝑔:ω⟶𝐴 ∧ ∀𝑘 ∈ ω (𝑔‘suc 𝑘) ∈ (𝐹‘(𝑔‘𝑘))))
Theorem	axdc3lem 10403*	The class 𝑆 of finite approximations to the DC sequence is a set. (We derive here the stronger statement that 𝑆 is a subset of a specific set, namely 𝒫 (ω × 𝐴).) (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 27-Jan-2013.) Remove unnecessary distinct variable conditions. (Revised by David Abernethy, 18-Mar-2014.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝑆 = {𝑠 ∣ ∃𝑛 ∈ ω (𝑠:suc 𝑛⟶𝐴 ∧ (𝑠‘∅) = 𝐶 ∧ ∀𝑘 ∈ 𝑛 (𝑠‘suc 𝑘) ∈ (𝐹‘(𝑠‘𝑘)))}    ⇒   ⊢ 𝑆 ∈ V
Theorem	axdc3lem2 10404*	Lemma for axdc3 10407. We have constructed a "candidate set" 𝑆, which consists of all finite sequences 𝑠 that satisfy our property of interest, namely 𝑠(𝑥 + 1) ∈ 𝐹(𝑠(𝑥)) on its domain, but with the added constraint that 𝑠(0) = 𝐶. These sets are possible "initial segments" of the infinite sequence satisfying these constraints, but we can leverage the standard ax-dc 10399 (with no initial condition) to select a sequence of ever-lengthening finite sequences, namely (ℎ‘𝑛):𝑚⟶𝐴 (for some integer 𝑚). We let our "choice" function select a sequence whose domain is one more than the last one, and agrees with the previous one on its domain. Thus, the application of vanilla ax-dc 10399 yields a sequence of sequences whose domains increase without bound, and whose union is a function which has all the properties we want. In this lemma, we show that given the sequence ℎ, we can construct the sequence 𝑔 that we are after. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 30-Jan-2013.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝑆 = {𝑠 ∣ ∃𝑛 ∈ ω (𝑠:suc 𝑛⟶𝐴 ∧ (𝑠‘∅) = 𝐶 ∧ ∀𝑘 ∈ 𝑛 (𝑠‘suc 𝑘) ∈ (𝐹‘(𝑠‘𝑘)))}    &   ⊢ 𝐺 = (𝑥 ∈ 𝑆 ↦ {𝑦 ∈ 𝑆 ∣ (dom 𝑦 = suc dom 𝑥 ∧ (𝑦 ↾ dom 𝑥) = 𝑥)})    ⇒   ⊢ (∃ℎ(ℎ:ω⟶𝑆 ∧ ∀𝑘 ∈ ω (ℎ‘suc 𝑘) ∈ (𝐺‘(ℎ‘𝑘))) → ∃𝑔(𝑔:ω⟶𝐴 ∧ (𝑔‘∅) = 𝐶 ∧ ∀𝑘 ∈ ω (𝑔‘suc 𝑘) ∈ (𝐹‘(𝑔‘𝑘))))
Theorem	axdc3lem3 10405*	Simple substitution lemma for axdc3 10407. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 27-Jan-2013.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝑆 = {𝑠 ∣ ∃𝑛 ∈ ω (𝑠:suc 𝑛⟶𝐴 ∧ (𝑠‘∅) = 𝐶 ∧ ∀𝑘 ∈ 𝑛 (𝑠‘suc 𝑘) ∈ (𝐹‘(𝑠‘𝑘)))}    &   ⊢ 𝐵 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐵 ∈ 𝑆 ↔ ∃𝑚 ∈ ω (𝐵:suc 𝑚⟶𝐴 ∧ (𝐵‘∅) = 𝐶 ∧ ∀𝑘 ∈ 𝑚 (𝐵‘suc 𝑘) ∈ (𝐹‘(𝐵‘𝑘))))
Theorem	axdc3lem4 10406*	Lemma for axdc3 10407. We have constructed a "candidate set" 𝑆, which consists of all finite sequences 𝑠 that satisfy our property of interest, namely 𝑠(𝑥 + 1) ∈ 𝐹(𝑠(𝑥)) on its domain, but with the added constraint that 𝑠(0) = 𝐶. These sets are possible "initial segments" of the infinite sequence satisfying these constraints, but we can leverage the standard ax-dc 10399 (with no initial condition) to select a sequence of ever-lengthening finite sequences, namely (ℎ‘𝑛):𝑚⟶𝐴 (for some integer 𝑚). We let our "choice" function select a sequence whose domain is one more than the last one, and agrees with the previous one on its domain. Thus, the application of vanilla ax-dc 10399 yields a sequence of sequences whose domains increase without bound, and whose union is a function which has all the properties we want. In this lemma, we show that 𝑆 is nonempty, and that 𝐺 always maps to a nonempty subset of 𝑆, so that we can apply axdc2 10402. See axdc3lem2 10404 for the rest of the proof.

Theorem	axdc3 10407*	Dependent Choice. Axiom DC1 of [Schechter] p. 149, with the addition of an initial value 𝐶. This theorem is weaker than the Axiom of Choice but is stronger than Countable Choice. It shows the existence of a sequence whose values can only be shown to exist (but cannot be constructed explicitly) and also depend on earlier values in the sequence.

3.2  ZFC Set Theory - add the Axiom of Choice
3.2.1  Introduce the Axiom of Choice
Axiom	ax-ac 10412*	Axiom of Choice. The Axiom of Choice (AC) is usually considered an extension of ZF set theory rather than a proper part of it. It is sometimes considered philosophically controversial because it asserts the existence of a set without telling us what the set is. ZF set theory that includes AC is called ZFC. The unpublished version given here says that given any set 𝑥, there exists a 𝑦 that is a collection of unordered pairs, one pair for each nonempty member of 𝑥. One entry in the pair is the member of 𝑥, and the other entry is some arbitrary member of that member of 𝑥. See the rewritten version ac3 10415 for a more detailed explanation. Theorem ac2 10414 shows an equivalent written compactly with restricted quantifiers. This version was specifically crafted to be short when expanded to primitives. Kurt Maes' 5-quantifier version ackm 10418 is slightly shorter when the biconditional of ax-ac 10412 is expanded into implication and negation. In axac3 10417 we allow the constant CHOICE to represent the Axiom of Choice; this simplifies the representation of theorems like gchac 10634 (the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis implies the Axiom of Choice). Standard textbook versions of AC are derived as ac8 10445, ac5 10430, and ac7 10426. The Axiom of Regularity ax-reg 9545 (among others) is used to derive our version from the standard ones; this reverse derivation is shown as Theorem dfac2b 10084. Equivalents to AC are the well-ordering theorem weth 10448 and Zorn's lemma zorn 10460. See ac4 10428 for comments about stronger versions of AC. In order to avoid uses of ax-reg 9545 for derivation of AC equivalents, we provide ax-ac2 10416 (due to Kurt Maes), which is equivalent to the standard AC of textbooks. The derivation of ax-ac2 10416 from ax-ac 10412 is shown by Theorem axac2 10419, and the reverse derivation by axac 10420. Therefore, new proofs should normally use ax-ac2 10416 instead. (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 18-Jul-1996.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑧∀𝑤((𝑧 ∈ 𝑤 ∧ 𝑤 ∈ 𝑥) → ∃𝑣∀𝑢(∃𝑡((𝑢 ∈ 𝑤 ∧ 𝑤 ∈ 𝑡) ∧ (𝑢 ∈ 𝑡 ∧ 𝑡 ∈ 𝑦)) ↔ 𝑢 = 𝑣))
Theorem	zfac 10413*	Axiom of Choice expressed with the fewest number of different variables. The penultimate step shows the logical equivalence to ax-ac 10412. (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 14-Aug-2003.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∀𝑦∀𝑧((𝑦 ∈ 𝑧 ∧ 𝑧 ∈ 𝑤) → ∃𝑤∀𝑦(∃𝑤((𝑦 ∈ 𝑧 ∧ 𝑧 ∈ 𝑤) ∧ (𝑦 ∈ 𝑤 ∧ 𝑤 ∈ 𝑥)) ↔ 𝑦 = 𝑤))
Theorem	ac2 10414*	Axiom of Choice equivalent. By using restricted quantifiers, we can express the Axiom of Choice with a single explicit conjunction. (If you want to figure it out, the rewritten equivalent ac3 10415 is easier to understand.) Note: aceq0 10071 shows the logical equivalence to ax-ac 10412. (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 18-Jul-1996.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑧 ∈ 𝑥 ∀𝑤 ∈ 𝑧 ∃!𝑣 ∈ 𝑧 ∃𝑢 ∈ 𝑦 (𝑧 ∈ 𝑢 ∧ 𝑣 ∈ 𝑢)
Theorem	ac3 10415*	Axiom of Choice using abbreviations. The logical equivalence to ax-ac 10412 can be established by chaining aceq0 10071 and aceq2 10072. A standard textbook version of AC is derived from this one in dfac2a 10083, and this version of AC is derived from the textbook version in dfac2b 10084, showing their logical equivalence (see dfac2 10085). The following sketch will help you understand this version of the axiom. Given any set 𝑥, the axiom says that there exists a 𝑦 that is a collection of unordered pairs, one pair for each nonempty member of 𝑥. One entry in the pair is the member of 𝑥, and the other entry is some arbitrary member of that member of 𝑥. Using the Axiom of Regularity, we can show that 𝑦 is really a set of ordered pairs, very similar to the ordered pair construction opthreg 9571. The key theorem for this (used in the proof of dfac2b 10084) is preleq 9569. With this modified definition of ordered pair, it can be seen that 𝑦 is actually a choice function on the members of 𝑥. For example, suppose 𝑥 = {{1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3, 4}}. Let us try 𝑦 = {{{1, 2}, 1}, {{1, 3}, 1}, {{2, 3, 4}, 2}}. For the member (of 𝑥) 𝑧 = {1, 2}, the only assignment to 𝑤 and 𝑣 that satisfies the axiom is 𝑤 = 1 and 𝑣 = {{1, 2}, 1}, so there is exactly one 𝑤 as required. We verify the other two members of 𝑥 similarly. Thus, 𝑦 satisfies the axiom. Using our modified ordered pair definition, we can say that 𝑦 corresponds to the choice function {⟨{1, 2}, 1⟩, ⟨{1, 3}, 1⟩, ⟨{2, 3, 4}, 2⟩}. Of course other choices for 𝑦 will also satisfy the axiom, for example 𝑦 = {{{1, 2}, 2}, {{1, 3}, 1}, {{2, 3, 4}, 4}}. What AC tells us is that there exists at least one such 𝑦, but it doesn't tell us which one. (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 19-Jul-1996.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑧 ∈ 𝑥 (𝑧 ≠ ∅ → ∃!𝑤 ∈ 𝑧 ∃𝑣 ∈ 𝑦 (𝑧 ∈ 𝑣 ∧ 𝑤 ∈ 𝑣))
Axiom	ax-ac2 10416*	In order to avoid uses of ax-reg 9545 for derivation of AC equivalents, we provide ax-ac2 10416, 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 10418. We removed the leading quantifier to make it slightly shorter, since we have ax-gen 1795 available. The derivation of ax-ac2 10416 from ax-ac 10412 is shown by Theorem axac2 10419, and the reverse derivation by axac 10420. Note that we use ax-reg 9545 to derive ax-ac 10412 from ax-ac2 10416, but not to derive ax-ac2 10416 from ax-ac 10412. (Contributed by NM, 19-Dec-2016.)

Theorem	axac3 10417	This theorem asserts that the constant CHOICE is a theorem, thus eliminating it as a hypothesis while assuming ax-ac2 10416 as an axiom. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 6-May-2015.) (Revised by NM, 20-Dec-2016.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ CHOICE
Theorem	ackm 10418*	A remarkable equivalent to the Axiom of Choice that has only five quantifiers (when expanded to use only the primitive predicates = and ∈ and in prenex normal form), discovered and proved by Kurt Maes. This establishes a new record, reducing from 6 to 5 the largest number of quantified variables needed by any ZFC axiom. The ZF-equivalence to AC is shown by Theorem dfackm 10120. Maes found this version of AC in April 2004 (replacing a longer version, also with five quantifiers, that he found in November 2003). See Kurt Maes, "A 5-quantifier (∈ , =)-expression ZF-equivalent to the Axiom of Choice", https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.0705.3162 10120.

⊢ (𝑅 ∈ 𝐴 → ∃𝑓(𝑓 ⊆ 𝑅 ∧ 𝑓 Fn dom 𝑅))
Theorem	ac4 10428*	Equivalent of Axiom of Choice. We do not insist that 𝑓 be a function. However, Theorem ac5 10430, derived from this one, shows that this form of the axiom does imply that at least one such set 𝑓 whose existence we assert is in fact a function. Axiom of Choice of [TakeutiZaring] p. 83. Takeuti and Zaring call this "weak choice" in contrast to "strong choice" ∃𝐹∀𝑧(𝑧 ≠ ∅ → (𝐹‘𝑧) ∈ 𝑧), which asserts the existence of a universal choice function but requires second-order quantification on (proper) class variable 𝐹 and thus cannot be expressed in our first-order formalization. However, it has been shown that ZF plus strong choice is a conservative extension of ZF plus weak choice. See Ulrich Felgner, "Comparison of the axioms of local and universal choice", Fundamenta Mathematica, 71, 43-62 (1971). Weak choice can be strengthened in a different direction to choose from a collection of proper classes; see ac6s5 10444. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jul-1996.)

Theorem	ac6 10433*	Equivalent of Axiom of Choice.
