Abstract

Within the framework of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without the Axiom of Choice, we establish equivalents to the assertion "the union of a countable collection of finite sets is countable" in the context of metric spaces, probability theory, and Hilbert spaces. The categorical principle underlying these equivalences is identified.
