In mathematics, the axiom of dependent choice, denoted by , is a weak form of the axiom of choice () that is still sufficient to develop most of real analysis. It was introduced by Paul Bernays in a 1942 article that explores which set-theoretic axioms are needed to develop analysis.[1] Formal statementThe axiom can be stated as follows: For every nonempty set and every entire binary relation on there exists a sequence in such that for all (Here, an entire binary relation on is one where for every there exists some such that is true.) Even without such an axiom, one can use ordinary mathematical induction to form the first terms of such a sequence, for every the axiom of dependent choice says that we can form a whole sequence this way. If the set above is restricted to be the set of all real numbers, then the resulting axiom is denoted by Useis the fragment of that is required to show the existence of a sequence constructed by transfinite recursion of countable length, if it is necessary to make a choice at each step and if some of those choices cannot be made independently of previous choices. Equivalent statementsOver Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory , is equivalent to the Baire category theorem for complete metric spaces.[2] It is also equivalent over to the Löwenheim–Skolem theorem.[3][4] is also equivalent over to the statement that every pruned tree with levels has a branch (proof below).
Relation with other axiomsUnlike full , is insufficient to prove (given ) that there is a non-measurable set of real numbers, or that there is a set of real numbers without the property of Baire or without the perfect set property. This follows because the Solovay model satisfies , and every set of real numbers in this model is Lebesgue measurable, has the Baire property and has the perfect set property. The axiom of dependent choice implies the axiom of countable choice and is strictly stronger.[5][6] Notes{{notelist}}References1. ^"The foundation of analysis does not require the full generality of set theory but can be accomplished within a more restricted frame." {{cite journal |last=Bernays |first=Paul |year=1942 |series=A system of axiomatic set theory |title=Part III.
