The stability of the Lindelöf property under the formation of products and of sums is investigated in ZF (= Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without AC, the axiom of choice). It is • not surprising that countable summability of the Lindelöf property requires some weak choice principle, • highly surprising, however, that productivity of the Lindelöf property is guaranteed by a drastic failure of AC, • amusing that finite summability of the Lindelöf property takes place if either some weak choice principle...
Many fundamental mathematical results fail in , i.e., in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without the Axiom of Choice. This article surveys results — old and new — that specify how much “choice” is needed to validate each of certain basic analytical and topological results.
