Theorem List for Metamath Proof Explorer - 5301-5400   *Has distinct variable group(s)

Type	Label	Description
Statement
Theorem	zfauscl 5301*	Separation Scheme (Aussonderung) using a class variable. To derive this from ax-sep 5299, we invoke the Axiom of Extensionality (indirectly via vtocl 3545), which is needed for the justification of class variable notation. If we omit the requirement that 𝑦 not occur in 𝜑, we can derive a contradiction, as notzfaus 5361 shows. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝑥 ∈ 𝑦 ↔ (𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∧ 𝜑))
Theorem	bm1.3ii 5302*	Convert implication to equivalence using the Separation Scheme (Aussonderung) ax-sep 5299. Similar to Theorem 1.3(ii) of [BellMachover] p. 463. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∀𝑦(𝜑 → 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥)    ⇒   ⊢ ∃𝑥∀𝑦(𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 ↔ 𝜑)
Theorem	ax6vsep 5303*	Derive ax6v 1971 (a weakened version of ax-6 1970 where 𝑥 and 𝑦 must be distinct), from Separation ax-sep 5299 and Extensionality ax-ext 2702. See ax6 2382 for the derivation of ax-6 1970 from ax6v 1971. (Contributed by NM, 12-Nov-2013.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑦
2.2.3  Derive the Null Set Axiom
Theorem	axnulALT 5304*	Alternate proof of axnul 5305, proved from propositional calculus, ax-gen 1796, ax-4 1810, sp 2175, and ax-rep 5285. To check this, replace sp 2175 with the obsolete axiom ax-c5 38057 in the proof of axnulALT 5304 and type the Metamath program "MM> SHOW TRACE_BACK axnulALT / AXIOMS" command. (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 3-Feb-2008.) (Proof shortened by Mario Carneiro, 17-Nov-2016.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∀𝑦 ¬ 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥
Theorem	axnul 5305*	The Null Set Axiom of ZF set theory: there exists a set with no elements. Axiom of Empty Set of [Enderton] p. 18. In some textbooks, this is presented as a separate axiom; here we show it can be derived from Separation ax-sep 5299. This version of the Null Set Axiom tells us that at least one empty set exists, but does not tell us that it is unique - we need the Axiom of Extensionality to do that (see nulmo 2707). This proof, suggested by Jeff Hoffman, uses only ax-4 1810 and ax-gen 1796 from predicate calculus, which are valid in "free logic" i.e. logic holding in an empty domain (see Axiom A5 and Rule R2 of [LeBlanc] p. 277). Thus, our ax-sep 5299 implies the existence of at least one set. Note that Kunen's version of ax-sep 5299 (Axiom 3 of [Kunen] p. 11) does not imply the existence of a set because his is universally closed, i.e., prefixed with universal quantifiers to eliminate all free variables. His existence is provided by a separate axiom stating ∃𝑥𝑥 = 𝑥 (Axiom 0 of [Kunen] p. 10). See axnulALT 5304 for a proof directly from ax-rep 5285. This theorem should not be referenced by any proof. Instead, use ax-nul 5306 below so that the uses of the Null Set Axiom can be more easily identified. (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 3-Feb-2008.) (Revised by NM, 4-Feb-2008.) (New usage is discouraged.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∀𝑦 ¬ 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥
Axiom	ax-nul 5306*	The Null Set Axiom of ZF set theory. It was derived as axnul 5305 above and is therefore redundant, but we state it as a separate axiom here so that its uses can be identified more easily. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-2003.)

⊢ (𝐴 ≠ ∅ ↔ ∩ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∅ = ∅)
Theorem	notzfaus 5361*	In the Separation Scheme zfauscl 5301, we require that 𝑦 not occur in 𝜑 (which can be generalized to "not be free in"). Here we show special cases of 𝐴 and 𝜑 that result in a contradiction if that requirement is not met. (Contributed by NM, 8-Feb-2006.) (Proof shortened by BJ, 18-Nov-2023.)

Theorem	dtrucor 5369*	Corollary of dtru 5436. 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 5370. (Contributed by NM, 27-Jun-2002.)
⊢ 𝑥 = 𝑦    ⇒   ⊢ 𝑥 ≠ 𝑦
Theorem	dtrucor2 5370	The theorem form of the deduction dtrucor 5369 leads to a contradiction, as mentioned in the "Wrong!" example at mmdeduction.html#bad 5369. Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 2370. (Contributed by NM, 20-Oct-2007.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑥 ≠ 𝑦)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∧ ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	dvdemo1 5371*	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 5372, 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 5372 for details on the "disjoint variable" mechanism. (The verb "bundle" to express this phenomenon was introduced by Raph Levien.) Note that dvdemo1 5371 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 2153 nor ax-13 2370. (Contributed by NM, 1-Dec-2006.) (Revised by BJ, 13-Jan-2024.)
⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	dvdemo2 5372*	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 5371, 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 5371 for details on the "disjoint variable" mechanism. Note that dvdemo2 5372 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 2136, ax-11 2153, ax-12 2170, ax-13 2370. (Contributed by NM, 1-Dec-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2370. (Revised by BJ, 13-Jan-2024.)
⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	nfnid 5373	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 5368 in its proof. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 8-Oct-2016.)
⊢ ¬ Ⅎ𝑥𝑥
Theorem	nfcvb 5374	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 2370. (New usage is discouraged.)

Theorem	snexALT 5381	Alternate proof of snex 5431 using Power Set (ax-pow 5363) instead of Pairing (ax-pr 5427). Unlike in the proof of zfpair 5419, Replacement (ax-rep 5285) 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 5382	The power set of the empty set (the ordinal 1) is a set. See also p0exALT 5383. (Contributed by NM, 23-Dec-1993.)
⊢ {∅} ∈ V
Theorem	p0exALT 5383	Alternate proof of p0ex 5382 which is quite different and longer if snexALT 5381 is expanded. (Contributed by NM, 23-Dec-1993.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {∅} ∈ V
Theorem	pp0ex 5384	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 5385	The ordinal number 3 is a set, proved without the Axiom of Union ax-un 7729. (Contributed by NM, 2-May-2009.)
⊢ {∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} ∈ V
Theorem	dtruALT 5386*	Alternate proof of dtru 5436 which requires more axioms but is shorter and may be easier to understand. Assuming that ZF set theory is consistent, we cannot prove this theorem unless we specify that 𝑥 and 𝑦 be distinct. Specifically, Theorem spcev 3596 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 5387*	This theorem shows that Axiom ax-c16 38066 is redundant in the presence of Theorem dtruALT2 5368, which states simply that at least two things exist. This justifies the remark at mmzfcnd.html#twoness 5368 (which links to this theorem). (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.)
