- Recently, someone (Gerald Edgar?) suggested we consider whether AC is
- required to prove card(Borel subsets of X) = card(R), if X is a separable
- metric space. I recall seeing some results, but for some reason I can not
- find the appropriate files. Here's what I remember:
-
- I posted something to the effect that I believed it was necessary (but I did
- not have a proof). Someone suggested that ZF+DC suffices, and then someone
- else showed that ZF+DC does not suffice after all. Does the provability of
- card(Borel sets) = card(R) imply AC? (and, am I remembering the results
- correctly?)
