An important and fundamental axiom in set theory sometimes called Zermelo's axiom of choice.

The axiom of choice is related to the first of Hilbert's problems.

Basic cardinal arithmetic without choice

Do we know everything about addition and multiplication of cardinalities in choiceless set theory? For example, let $M$ be a model of $\textsf{ZF}+\textsf{AD}+V=L(\mathbb{R})$, consider the sets $\mat …
