Abstract:

We consider several weak forms of the Axiom of Choice obtained debilitating some well known choice principles. Implication relations among them and independence results are established using, in some cases, permutation models or symmetric models. The relationship between Ramsey’s Theorem and these choice principles is also explored, showing that, in this context, the known results are the best possible.
