⊢ (∪ 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = ∪ {𝑥 ∣ ∃𝑦 ∈ 𝐴 𝑥 = (𝑦 ∩ 𝐵)}
Theorem	axpweq 5312*	Two equivalent ways to express the Power Set Axiom. Note that ax-pow 5327 is not used by the proof. When ax-pow 5327 is assumed and 𝐴 is a set, both sides of the biconditional hold. In ZF, both sides hold if and only if 𝐴 is a set (see pwexr 7777). (Contributed by NM, 22-Jun-2009.)

2.2.5  Theorems requiring empty set existence
Theorem	class2set 5316*	The class of elements of 𝐴 "such that 𝐴 is a set" is a set. That class is equal to 𝐴 when 𝐴 is a set (see class2seteq 3662) and to the empty set when 𝐴 is a proper class. (Contributed by NM, 16-Oct-2003.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∣ 𝐴 ∈ V} ∈ V

Theorem	unidif0OLD 5322	Obsolete version of unidif0 5321 as of 25-Apr-2026. (Contributed by NM, 22-Mar-2004.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)

Theorem	eqsnuniex 5323	If a class is equal to the singleton of its union, then its union exists. (Contributed by BTernaryTau, 24-Sep-2024.)
⊢ (𝐴 = {∪ 𝐴} → ∪ 𝐴 ∈ V)
Theorem	iin0 5324*	An indexed intersection of the empty set, with a nonempty index set, is empty. (Contributed by NM, 20-Oct-2005.)
⊢ (𝐴 ≠ ∅ ↔ ∩ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∅ = ∅)
Theorem	notsep 5325*	In the Separation Scheme sepgi 5252, we require that 𝑦 not occur in 𝜑 (which can be generalized to "not be free in"). That requirement is necessary: notsep 5325, which requires only ax-ext 2733 and ax-nul 5260 on top of first-order logic, derives *non*-existence of a "separating set" for specific values of the containing set 𝐴 and of the separating condition 𝜑. Therefore, from the axioms required by notsep 5325 and an overly strong axiom of separation without the requirement that 𝑦 not occur in 𝜑, we could derive ⊥, a contradiction. (Contributed by NM, 8-Feb-2006.) (Proof shortened by BJ, 18-Nov-2023.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {∅}    &   ⊢ (𝜑 ↔ ¬ 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦)    ⇒   ⊢ ¬ ∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝑥 ∈ 𝑦 ↔ (𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∧ 𝜑))

⊢ ∩ V = ∅
2.3  ZF Set Theory - add the Axiom of Power Sets
2.3.1  Introduce the Axiom of Power Sets
Axiom	ax-pow 5327*	Axiom of Power Sets. An axiom of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. It states that a set 𝑦 exists that includes the power set of a given set 𝑥 i.e. contains every subset of 𝑥. The variant axpow2 5329 uses explicit subset notation. A version using class notation is pwex 5342. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑧(∀𝑤(𝑤 ∈ 𝑧 → 𝑤 ∈ 𝑥) → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑦)
Theorem	zfpow 5328*	Axiom of Power Sets expressed with the fewest number of different variables. (Contributed by NM, 14-Aug-2003.)

⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑧(𝑧 ⊆ 𝑥 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑦)
Theorem	axpow3 5330*	A variant of the Axiom of Power Sets ax-pow 5327. For any set 𝑥, there exists a set 𝑦 whose members are exactly the subsets of 𝑥 i.e. the power set of 𝑥. Axiom Pow of [BellMachover] p. 466. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jun-2006.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑧(𝑧 ⊆ 𝑥 ↔ 𝑧 ∈ 𝑦)
Theorem	elALT2 5331*	Alternate proof of el 5406 using ax-9 2155 and ax-pow 5327 instead of ax-pr 5391. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jan-2002.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ∃𝑦 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦
Theorem	dtruALT2 5332*	Alternate proof of dtru 5405 using ax-pow 5327 instead of ax-pr 5391. See dtruALT 5350 for another proof using ax-pow 5327 instead of ax-pr 5391. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2402. (Revised by BJ, 31-May-2019.) Avoid ax-12 2213. (Revised by Rohan Ridenour, 9-Oct-2024.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	dtrucor 5333*	Corollary of dtru 5405. This example illustrates the danger of blindly trusting the standard Deduction Theorem without accounting for free variables: the theorem form of this deduction is not valid, as shown by dtrucor2 5334. (Contributed by NM, 27-Jun-2002.)
⊢ 𝑥 = 𝑦    ⇒   ⊢ 𝑥 ≠ 𝑦
Theorem	dtrucor2 5334	The theorem form of the deduction dtrucor 5333 leads to a contradiction, as mentioned in the "Wrong!" example at mmdeduction.html#bad 5333. Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 2402. (Contributed by NM, 20-Oct-2007.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑥 ≠ 𝑦)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∧ ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	dvdemo1 5335*	Demonstration of a theorem that requires the setvar variables 𝑥 and 𝑦 to be disjoint (but without any other disjointness conditions, and in particular, none on 𝑧). That theorem bundles the theorems (⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥) with 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 disjoint), often called its "principal instance", and the two "degenerate instances" (⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑥 ∈ 𝑥) with 𝑥, 𝑦 disjoint) and (⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥) with 𝑥, 𝑦 disjoint). Compare with dvdemo2 5336, which has the same principal instance and one common degenerate instance but crucially differs in the other degenerate instance. See https://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/mmset.html#distinct 5336 for details on the "disjoint variable" mechanism. (The verb "bundle" to express this phenomenon was introduced by Raph Levien.) Note that dvdemo1 5335 is partially bundled, in that the pairs of setvar variables 𝑥, 𝑧 and 𝑦, 𝑧 need not be disjoint, and in spite of that, its proof does not require ax-11 2194 nor ax-13 2402. (Contributed by NM, 1-Dec-2006.) (Revised by BJ, 13-Jan-2024.)
⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	dvdemo2 5336*	Demonstration of a theorem that requires the setvar variables 𝑥 and 𝑧 to be disjoint (but without any other disjointness conditions, and in particular, none on 𝑦). That theorem bundles the theorems (⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥) with 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 disjoint), often called its "principal instance", and the two "degenerate instances" (⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑥 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥) with 𝑥, 𝑧 disjoint) and (⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑧 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥) with 𝑥, 𝑧 disjoint). Compare with dvdemo1 5335, which has the same principal instance and one common degenerate instance but crucially differs in the other degenerate instance. See https://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/mmset.html#distinct 5335 for details on the "disjoint variable" mechanism. Note that dvdemo2 5336 is partially bundled, in that the pairs of setvar variables 𝑥, 𝑦 and 𝑦, 𝑧 need not be disjoint, and in spite of that, its proof does not require any of the auxiliary axioms ax-10 2178, ax-11 2194, ax-12 2213, ax-13 2402. (Contributed by NM, 1-Dec-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2402. (Revised by BJ, 13-Jan-2024.)
⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	nfnid 5337	A setvar variable is not free from itself. This theorem is not true in a one-element domain, as illustrated by the use of dtruALT2 5332 in its proof. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 8-Oct-2016.)
⊢ ¬ Ⅎ𝑥𝑥
Theorem	nfcvb 5338	The "distinctor" expression ¬ ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦, stating that 𝑥 and 𝑦 are not the same variable, can be written in terms of Ⅎ in the obvious way. This theorem is not true in a one-element domain, because then Ⅎ𝑥𝑦 and ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦 will both be true. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 8-Oct-2016.) Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 2402. (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (Ⅎ𝑥𝑦 ↔ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦)
Theorem	vpwex 5339	Power set axiom: the powerclass of a set is a set. Axiom 4 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 17. (Contributed by NM, 30-Oct-2003.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011.) Revised to prove pwexg 5340 from vpwex 5339. (Revised by BJ, 10-Aug-2022.)

⊢ (𝜑 → 𝐴 ∈ 𝑉)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 → 𝒫 𝐴 ∈ V)
Theorem	pwex 5342	Power set axiom expressed in class notation. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ 𝒫 𝐴 ∈ V
Theorem	pwel 5343	Quantitative version of pwexg 5340: the powerset of an element of a class is an element of the double powerclass of the union of that class. Exercise 10 of [Enderton] p. 26. (Contributed by NM, 13-Jan-2007.) Remove use of ax-nul 5260 and ax-pr 5391 and shorten proof. (Revised by BJ, 13-Apr-2024.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 → 𝒫 𝐴 ∈ 𝒫 𝒫 ∪ 𝐵)
Theorem	abssexg 5344*	Existence of a class of subsets. (Contributed by NM, 15-Jul-2006.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → {𝑥 ∣ (𝑥 ⊆ 𝐴 ∧ 𝜑)} ∈ V)
Theorem	snexALT 5345	Alternate proof of snex 5397 using Power Set (ax-pow 5327) instead of Pairing (ax-pr 5391). Unlike in the proof of zfpair 5383, Replacement (ax-rep 5232) is not needed. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {𝐴} ∈ V
Theorem	p0ex 5346	The power set of the empty set (the ordinal 1) is a set. See also p0exALT 5347. (Contributed by NM, 23-Dec-1993.)
⊢ {∅} ∈ V
Theorem	p0exALT 5347	Alternate proof of p0ex 5346 which is quite different and longer if snexALT 5345 is expanded. (Contributed by NM, 23-Dec-1993.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {∅} ∈ V
Theorem	pp0ex 5348	The power set of the power set of the empty set (the ordinal 2) is a set. (Contributed by NM, 24-Jun-1993.)
⊢ {∅, {∅}} ∈ V
Theorem	ord3ex 5349	The ordinal number 3 is a set, proved without the Axiom of Union ax-un 7749. (Contributed by NM, 2-May-2009.)
⊢ {∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} ∈ V
Theorem	dtruALT 5350*	Alternate proof of dtru 5405 which requires more axioms but is shorter and may be easier to understand. Like dtruALT2 5332, it uses ax-pow 5327 rather than ax-pr 5391. Assuming that ZF set theory is consistent, we cannot prove this theorem unless we specify that 𝑥 and 𝑦 be distinct. Specifically, Theorem spcev 3561 requires that 𝑥 must not occur in the subexpression ¬ 𝑦 = {∅} in step 4 nor in the subexpression ¬ 𝑦 = ∅ in step 9. The proof verifier will require that 𝑥 and 𝑦 be in a distinct variable group to ensure this. You can check this by deleting the $d statement in set.mm and rerunning the verifier, which will print a detailed explanation of the distinct variable violation. (Contributed by NM, 15-Jul-1994.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	axc16b 5351*	This theorem shows that Axiom ax-c16 39929 is redundant in the presence of Theorem dtruALT2 5332, which states simply that at least two things exist. This justifies the remark at mmzfcnd.html#twoness 5332 (which links to this theorem). (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.)
⊢ (∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑))
Theorem	eunex 5352	Existential uniqueness implies there is a value for which the wff argument is false. (Contributed by NM, 24-Oct-2010.) (Proof shortened by BJ, 2-Jan-2023.)
⊢ (∃!𝑥𝜑 → ∃𝑥 ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	eusv1 5353*	Two ways to express single-valuedness of a class expression 𝐴(𝑥). (Contributed by NM, 14-Oct-2010.)
⊢ (∃!𝑦∀𝑥 𝑦 = 𝐴 ↔ ∃𝑦∀𝑥 𝑦 = 𝐴)

Theorem	reusv2 5365*	Two ways to express single-valuedness of a class expression 𝐶(𝑦) that is constant for those 𝑦 ∈ 𝐵 such that 𝜑.

Theorem	zfpair 5383	The Axiom of Pairing of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. Axiom 2 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 15.
