| Theorem | inf3 4611 |
Our Axiom of Infinity ax-inf 4613 implies the standard Axiom of Infinity.
The hypothesis is a variant of our Axiom of Infinity provided by
inf2 4599, and the conclusion is the version of the
Axiom of Infinity
shown as Axiom 7 in [TakeutiZaring] p. 43. (Other standard
versions are
proved later as axinf2 4615 and zfinf 4617.) The main proof is provided by
inf3lema 4600 through inf3lem7 4610, and this final piece eliminates the
auxiliary hypothesis of inf3lem7 4610. This proof is due to
Ian Sutherland, Richard Heck, and Norman Megill and was posted
on Usenet as shown below. Although the result is not new, the authors
were unable to find a published proof.

| Theorem | infeq5 4612 | The statement "there exists a set that is a proper subset of its union" is equivalent to the Axiom of Infinity (shown on the right-hand side in the form of omex 4618.) The left-hand side provides us with a very short way to express of the Axiom of Infinity using only elementary symbols. This proof of equivalence does not depend on the Axiom of Infinity. | |

| Axiom | ax-inf 4613 |
Axiom of Infinity. An axiom of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. This axiom
is the gateway to "Cantor's paradise" (an expression coined by
Hilbert).
It asserts that given a starting set
An interesting property of our version is that, unlike the standard
version, it does not assert the independent existence of any set; it
needs a starting set The standard version of Infinity ax-inf2 4616 requires this axiom along with Regularity ax-reg 4584 for its derivation (as theorem axinf2 4615 below). In order to more easily identify the normal uses of Regularity, we will usually reference ax-inf2 4616 instead of this one. | |
| Theorem | axinf 4614 | Axiom of Infinity expressed with fewest number of different variables. | |
| Theorem | axinf2 4615 |
A standard version of Axiom of Infinity, expanded to primitives, derived
from our version of Infinity ax-inf 4613 and Regularity ax-reg 4584.
This theorem should not be referenced in any proof. Instead, use ax-inf2 4616 below so that the ordinary uses of Regularity can be more easily identified. | |
| Axiom | ax-inf2 4616 | A standard version of Axiom of Infinity of ZF set theory. In English, it says: there exists a set that contains the empty set and the successors of all of its members. Theorem zfinf 4617 shows it converted to abbreviations. This axiom was derived as theorem axinf2 4615 above, using our version of Infinity ax-inf 4613 and the Axiom of Regularity ax-reg 4584. We will reference ax-inf2 4616 instead of axinf2 4615 so that the ordinary uses of Regularity can be more easily identified. | |
| Theorem | zfinf 4617 | A standard version of the Axiom of Infinity, using definitions to abbreviate. Axiom Inf of [BellMachover] p. 472. (See ax-inf2 4616 for the unabbreviated version.) | |
| Existence of omega (the set of natural numbers) | |||
| Theorem | omex 4618 |
The existence of omega (the class of natural numbers). Axiom 7 of
[TakeutiZaring] p. 43. This
theorem is proved assuming the Axiom of
Infinity and in fact is equivalent to it, as shown by the reverse
derivation inf0 4597.
A finitist (someone who doesn't believe in infinity) could, without
contradiction, replace the Axiom of Infinity by its denial

| Theorem | inf5 4619 | The statement "there exists a set that is a proper subset of its union" is equivalent to the Axiom of Infinity (see theorem infeq5 4612). This provides us with a very compact way to express of the Axiom of Infinity using only elementary symbols. | |
