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.
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...
