Extractions: Eric Schechter , Vanderbilt University The Axiom of Choice ( AC ) was formulated about a century ago, and it was controversial for a few of decades after that; it may be considered the last great controversy of mathematics. It is now a basic assumption used in many parts of mathematics. In fact, assuming AC is equivalent to assuming any of these principles (and many others): Given any two sets, one set has cardinality less than or equal to that of the other set i.e., one set is in one-to-one correspondence with some subset of the other. ( Historical remark: It was questions like this that led to Zermelo 's formulation of AC.) Any vector space over a field F has a basis i.e., a maximal linearly independent subset over that field. ( Remark: If we only consider the case where F is the real line, we obtain a slightly weaker statement; it is not yet known whether this statement is also equivalent to AC.) Any product of compact topological spaces is compact. (This is now known as Tychonoff's Theorem , though Tychonoff himself only had in mind a much more specialized result that is not equivalent to the Axiom of Choice.)

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/AxiomofChoice.html

Extractions: Axiom of Choice An important and fundamental axiom in set theory sometimes called Zermelo's axiom of choice . It was formulated by Zermelo in 1904 and states that, given any set of mutually exclusive nonempty sets , there exists at least one set that contains exactly one element in common with each of the nonempty sets . The axiom of choice is related to the first of Hilbert's problems In Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory (in the form omitting the axiom of choice), the Zorn's lemma trichotomy law , and the well ordering principle are equivalent to the axiom of choice (Mendelson 1997, p. 275). In contexts sensitive to the axiom of choice, the notation "ZF" is often used to denote Zermelo-Fraenkel without the axiom of choice, while "ZFC" is used if the axiom of choice is included.

Symbolically, the continuum hypothesis is that showed that no contradiction would arise if the continuum hypothesis were added to conventional Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory . However, using a technique called forcing , Paul Cohen (1963, 1964) proved that no contradiction would arise if the negation of the continuum hypothesis was added to set theory set theory being used, and is therefore

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_choice

Extractions: The axiom of choice is an axiom in set theory . It was formulated about a century ago by Ernst Zermelo , and was quite controversial at the time. It states the following: Let X be a collection of non-empty sets . Then we can choose a member from each set in that collection. Stated more formally: There exists a function f defined on X such that for each set S in X f S ) is an element of S Another formulation of the axiom of choice (AC) states: Given any set of mutually exclusive non-empty sets, there exists at least one set that contains exactly one element in common with each of the non-empty sets. It seems obvious: if you've got a bunch of boxes lying around with at least one item in each of them, the axiom simply states that you can choose one item out of each box. Where's the controversy? Well, the controversy was over what it meant to choose something from these sets. As an example, let us look at some sample sets. 1. Let X be any finite collection of non-empty sets. Then f can be stated explicitly (out of set A choose a , ...), since the number of sets is finite.

Extractions: Abstract: We present a possible computational content of the negative translation of classical analysis with the Axiom of Choice. Our interpretation seems computationally more direct than the one based on Gödel's Dialectica interpretation [10, 18]. Interestingly, this interpretation uses a refinement of the realizibility semantics of the absurdity proposition, which is not interpreted as the empty type here. We also show how to compute witnesses from proofs in classical analysis, and how to interpret the ... (Update)

Extractions: Do Wikipedia articles assume the axiom of choice unless otherwise mentioned? Or should results which rely on choice be marked as such? Matthew Woodcraft They should be marked as such. If they're not, fix them. Taw Pretty much anything I write assumes AC. Zundark , 2001 Dec 16 I think it is polite, when writing about a central theorem like existence of prime ideals or Hahn-Banach, to mention that it depends on AC, but it is really too much to ask to do the detailed bookkeeping and mention AC for every result which depends on one of those theorems. AC is an accepted axiom in mathematics. AxelBoldt This last position seems to be modern practice, at least in the areas of mathematics I'm familiar with. Should we have a note to this effect on the main AC page? Matthew Woodcraft Is there any treatment of "life without AC"? I would find this an interesting topic.

Extractions: Well I am glad you decided to come to this page despite its rather intimidating title. I hope that you will find this intriguing and perhaps interesting enough to show off your new found knowledge to your friends. Before I tell you what the Axiom of Choice is and how it relates to our modern understanding of the world I will first discuss the idea of the "axiom" in mathematics. In fact Euclid essentially realized this when he compiled all the knowledge about geometry into his book The Elements . Euclid had five postulates or statements that he could not prove. The first four were obviously unprovable statements like the ability to connect any two points with a line, to draw a circle of any given radius at any point, or the equivalance of any two right angles. Surely these statements just are and there is nothing else that one could ever do to "prove" them to anyones satisfaction short of simply demonstrating to the best of their abilities that a line can be drawn between two point or continued on indefinitely. ON the other hand his fifth postulate sounds like a theorem. It like any other theorem is an if conditional which is clearly based on something more fundamental than its own merit. I will rewrite it in more modern terminology:

Extractions: Next: Cutting a sphere into Up: Axiom of Choice and Previous: Axiom of Choice and There are several equivalent formulations: THE AXIOM OF CHOICE There are many equivalent statements of the Axiom of Choice. The following version gave rise to its name: For any set X there is a function f , with domain , so that f(x) is a member of x for every nonempty x in X Such an f is called a ``choice function" on X . [Note that X (0) means X with the empty set removed. Also note that in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory all mathematical objects are sets so each member of X is itself a set.] The Axiom of Choice (AC) is one of the most discussed axioms of mathematics, perhaps second only to Euclid's parallel postulate. The axioms of set theory provide a foundation for modern mathematics in the same way that Euclid's five postulates provided a foundation for Euclidean geometry, and the questions surrounding AC are the same as the questions that surrounded Euclid's Parallel Postulate: Can it be derived from the other axioms?

http://at.yorku.ca/z/a/a/b/18.htm

Extractions: by Eric Schechter (Department of Mathematics, Vanderbilt University, Nashville TN 37240-0001, U.S.A.) The Axiom of Choice (AC) has many important equivalent forms in many branches of mathematics Zorn's Lemma, the Well Ordering Principle, the Vector Basis Theorem. In general topology, perhaps the most important equivalent is Tychonov's Product Theorem: any product of compact topological spaces, when equipped with the product topology, is also compact. Some other statements about product topologies are also equivalent: the product of complete uniform spaces, when equipped with the product uniformity, is also complete; the product of closures of subsets of topological spaces is equal to the closure of the product of those subsets. The term ``constructive'' is used in different fashion by different mathematicians. For the most part, it means that we can ``find'' the object in question, and not just prove that it exists. The Axiom of Choice is the most well-known nonconstructive assertion of existence; it has important consequences for many branches of mathematics. The Axiom of Foundation (also known as the Axiom of Regularity) is also nonconstructive, but it has few applications in ``ordinary'' mathematics (i.e., outside of set theory). However, nonconstructiveness can occur not only in our axioms, but even in our reasoning:
