http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hahn-Banach_theorem#Relation_to_the_axiom_of_choice > As mentioned earlier, the axiom of > choice implies the Hahn–Banach > theorem. The converse is not true. One > way to see that is by noting that the > ultrafilter lemma, which is strictly > weaker than the axiom of choice, can > be used to show the Hahn–Banach > theorem, although the converse is not > the case. The Hahn–Banach theorem can > in fact be proved using even weaker > hypotheses than the ultrafilter > lemma.[4] For separable Banach spaces, > Brown and Simpson proved that the > Hahn–Banach theorem follows from WKL0, > a weak subsystem of second-order > arithmetic.[5]
