[Math] Weak forms of the Axiom of Choice

axiom-of-choicelo.logicset-theory

Let $n\geq 2$ be a natural number and consider the following:

$AC(n)$: For each family $\{X_i\}_{i \in I}$ of $n$-element sets the product $\prod_{i\in I}X_i$ is non-empty.

Is it known that for which values of $m$ and $n$, $AC(m)$ and $AC(n)$ are equivalent !?

Best Answer

There is about half a chapter devoted to this in Jech The Axiom of Choice, the key point is Theorem 7.15 which gives a condition for $\mathsf{AC}(n)\implies\mathsf{AC}(m)$. You may want to look around there (p.111 for the theorem).
