Welcome to the official site of AXIOM OF CHOICE Look for the new album UNFOLDING In stores now! Axiom of Choice are emigré Persian musicians with their roots in the repertoire of traditional Persian music. Led by guitarist and Music Director Loga Ramin Torkian and featuring Mamak Khadem on vocals, their music is conceptual and combines Eastern and Western instrumentation in original arrangements bringing a new sound to Persian and world music. UNFOLDING A Trans-Global Exploration of Omar Khayyam's Mystic Vision Interpreting the spirit of Khayyam's evocative poetry, Axiom of Choice crafts progressive Persian music. Quarter-tone guitar, duduk, cello, ney, kamancheh, percussion, and exquisite vocals color a sophisticated palette of compositions and a lush landscape of sounds.

a home page for the AXIOM OF CHOICE an introduction and links collection by Eric Schechter , Vanderbilt University The Axiom of Choice ( AC ) was formulated about a century ago, and it was controversial for a few of decades after that; it may be considered the last great controversy of mathematics. It is now a basic assumption used in many parts of mathematics. In fact, assuming AC is equivalent to assuming any of these principles (and many others): Given any two sets, one set has cardinality less than or equal to that of the other set i.e., one set is in one-to-one correspondence with some subset of the other. ( Historical remark: It was questions like this that led to Zermelo 's formulation of AC.) Any vector space over a field F has a basis i.e., a maximal linearly independent subset over that field. ( Remark: If we only consider the case where F is the real line, we obtain a slightly weaker statement; it is not yet known whether this statement is also equivalent to AC.) Any product of compact topological spaces is compact. (This is now known as Tychonoff's Theorem , though Tychonoff himself only had in mind a much more specialized result that is not equivalent to the Axiom of Choice.)

Our interpretation seems computationally more direct than the one based on Godel's Dialectica interpretation [10, 18]. Interestingly, this interpretation uses a refinement of the realizibility semantics of the absurdity proposition, which is not interpreted as the empty type here.

10. Axiom Of Choice axiom of choice If X is a set, and S is the union of all the elements of X, then there exists a function fX S such that for all non-empty x in X, f(x) is an element of x. http://burks.bton.ac.uk/burks/foldoc/51/9.htm

The Free Online Dictionary of Computing ( http://foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk/ dbh@doc.ic.ac.uk Previous: axiomatic set theory Next: Axiom of Comprehension Axiom of Choice mathematics axiom of set theory In other words, we can always choose an element from each set in a set of sets, simultaneously. Function f is a "choice function" for X - for each x in X, it chooses an element of x. Most people's reaction to AC is: "But of course that's true! From each set, just take the element that's biggest, stupidest, closest to the North Pole, or whatever". Indeed, for any finite set of sets, we can simply consider each set in turn and pick an arbitrary element in some such way. We can also construct a choice function for most simple infinite sets of sets if they are generated in some regular way. However, there are some infinite sets for which the construction or specification of such a choice function would never end because we would have to consider an infinite number of separate cases. For example, if we express the real number line R as the union of many "copies" of the rational numbers, Q, namely Q, Q+a, Q+b, and infinitely (in fact uncountably) many more, where a, b, etc. are irrational numbers no two of which differ by a rational, and

AXIOM OF CHOICE Artist Biographies Poignant, innovative, epic, and soulful—these are but a few of the adjectives used to describe the music of Axiom of Choice . Formed in 1992 by guitarist, composer and Artistic Director Loga Ramin Torkian and co-producer and percussionist Mammad Mohsenzadeh , the ensemble’s goal is to define a new sound within the context of Persian music. They were soon joined by vocalist Mamak Khadem whose prodigious vocal talent complemented the original compositions of Torkian. The name of the ensemble is a mathematical term, which clearly defines their intentional freedom of choice within the parameters of their compositions and music. As artists who immigrated to the United States, Axiom of Choice incorporates the sounds of other cultures – both East and West - broadening the scope and appeal of their music while remaining loyal to their Persian roots and retaining the originality, distinctiveness and integrity of their sound. Their original compositions are mostly based on Persian melodies and modes and have universal appeal because of their cohesive, seamless and natural fusion with other styles of music. The musicians work within a unique compositional structure in which both improvisation and personal expression can freely take place. One important goal is to make Persian music more accessible to the broader audience. The other is to communicate through a progressive and new global sound, unique to world music.

Hausdorff, A. Tarski, S. Banach, J. von Neumann and R. M. Robinson. References are given in both books by Gelbaum and Olmsted. (The second of which actually proves the first theorem below.) Both theorems use the notion of a rigid motion . A rigid motion of a space is a transformation that does not change ( euclidean ) distance between two points. In the theorems below, B r R dist (x,0) Tarski-Banach Theorem 1 There exists a decomposition of B into 5 pairwise disjoint sets A ,...,A of which the last is a single point such that there exist rigid motions R ,...,R with B = R (A R (A ) and B = R (A R (A R (A where all unions are disjoint. This means breaking a ball into five pieces such that it's possible to combine these pieces into two balls equal in size to the original one. No seams are visible after the operation. No cavities are created under the surface. I just wonder what prevents me from taking up this occupation professionally. Could have taken a few bowling balls' manufacturers out of business. The problem is one can't be sure that dropping a ball will break it into five pieces, let alone into the right pieces of which one is a point.

Next: Cutting a sphere into Up: Axiom of Choice and Previous: Axiom of Choice and The Axiom of Choice There are several equivalent formulations: The Cartesian product of nonempty sets is nonempty, even if the product is of an infinite family of sets. Given any set S of mutually disjoint nonempty sets, there is a set C containing a single member from each element of S C can thus be thought of as the result of ``choosing" a representative from each set in S . Hence the name. Relevance of the Axiom of Choice THE AXIOM OF CHOICE There are many equivalent statements of the Axiom of Choice. The following version gave rise to its name: For any set X there is a function f , with domain , so that f(x) is a member of x for every nonempty x in X Such an f is called a ``choice function" on X . [Note that X (0) means X with the empty set removed. Also note that in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory all mathematical objects are sets so each member of X is itself a set.] The Axiom of Choice (AC) is one of the most discussed axioms of mathematics, perhaps second only to Euclid's parallel postulate. The axioms of set theory provide a foundation for modern mathematics in the same way that Euclid's five postulates provided a foundation for Euclidean geometry, and the questions surrounding AC are the same as the questions that surrounded Euclid's Parallel Postulate: Can it be derived from the other axioms?

Foundations of Mathematics Axioms Foundations of Mathematics Set Theory ... General Set Theory Axiom of Choice 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 exclusive 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 In Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory (in the form omitting the axiom of choice), the Zorn's lemma trichotomy law , and the well ordering principle are equivalent to the axiom of choice (Mendelson 1997, p. 275). In contexts sensitive to the axiom of choice, the notation "ZF" is often used to denote Zermelo-Fraenkel without the axiom of choice, while "ZFC" is used if the axiom of choice is included. In 1940, proved that the axiom of choice is consistent with the axioms of (a conservative extension of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory ). However, in 1963, Cohen (1963) unexpectedly demonstrated that the axiom of choice is also independent of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory (Mendelson 1997; Boyer and Merzbacher 1991, pp. 610-611).
