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 disjoint 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.

Axiom of Countable Choice and meager sets
Let us recall that the Axiom of Countable Choice (denoted by ACC) says that the countable product $\prod_{n\in\omega}X_n$ of nonempty sets $X_n$ is nonempty.
It is easy to see that ACC implies that fo …

The partial preorder on $\mathbb N$ generated by the finite axioms of choice
Let $\mathsf C_n$ denotes the statement:
for any family $\mathcal F$ of $n$-element sets there exists a choice function (i.e., a function $f:\mathcal F\to\bigcup\mathcal F$ such that $f(F)\in F$ for …

Chromatic number of a topological space
The chromatic number $\chi(X)$ of a topological space $X$ is related to the separation dimension $t(X)$ introduced and studied by Steinke.
The separation dimension $t(X)$ is defined inductively:
