Axiom of Choice; axiom of finite choice; bases in a vector space; linear forms
Summary:
We work in set-theory without choice ZF. Given a commutative field $\mathbb K$, we consider the statement $\mathbf D (\mathbb K)$: “On every non null $\mathbb K$-vector space there exists a non-null linear form.” We investigate various statements which are equivalent to $\mathbf D (\mathbb K)$ in ZF. Denoting by $\mathbb Z_2$ the two-element field, we deduce that $\mathbf D (\mathbb Z_2)$ implies the axiom of choice for pairs. We also deduce that $\mathbf D (\mathbb Q)$ implies the axiom of choice for linearly ordered sets isomorphic with $\mathbb Z$.
