Two questions about implications between $\mathsf{DC}, \mathsf{BPI}$ and $\mathsf{AC}_\omega$

87 Views Asked by At

Does the implication $\mathsf{DC} \implies \mathsf{BPI}$ hold?

And does the implication $\mathsf{BPI} \implies \mathsf{AC}_\omega$ hold?

I checked with Howard/Rubin's "Consequences of the Axiom of Choice" in part V where they list relations between forms, in particular, I could not find any mention of either of the above implications on page 324 and 326 respectively.

No implication whatsoever.

In Cohen's first model $\sf BPI$ holds, while both $\sf AC_\omega$ and $\sf DC$ fail.

In Shelah's model where every set has the Baire property, $\sf BPI$ fails, and $\sf DC$ holds (and consequently $\sf AC_\omega$ holds). One can also use for this Solovay's model or models of $\sf AD+\it V=L(\Bbb R)$, if one is willing to take large cardinals for granted.

Both implications are false, as can be verified at the Consequences website using the "list of all models with specified characteristics" feature (DC is form 43, BPI is 14, AC$_\omega$ is 8).
