## Abstract We study statements about countable and wellβordered unions and their relation to each other and to countable and wellβordered forms of the axiom of choice. Using WO as an abbreviation for βwellβorderableβ, here are two typical results: The assertion that every WO family of countable se

## Abstract We study conditions for a topological space to be metrizable, properties of metrizable spaces, and the role the axiom of choice plays in these matters.
## Abstract We prove the independence of some weakenings of the axiom of choice related to the question if the unions of wellorderable families of wellordered sets are wellorderable.
We shall investigate certain statements concerning the rigidity of unary functions which have connections with (weak) forms of the axiom of choice.
## Abstract Two theorems are proved: First that the statement βthere exists a field __F__ such that for every vector space over __F__, every generating set contains a basisβ implies the axiom of choice. This generalizes theorems of Halpern, Blass, and Keremedis. Secondly, we prove that the assert
We show that for every well ordered cardinal number m the Tychonoff product 2 m is a compact space without the use of any choice but in Cohen's Second Model 2 R is not compact.
