Definition Let M be a smooth manifold with a diffeomorphism f M &rarr M . Then f is an axiom A diffeomorphism if the following two conditions hold The nonwandering set of f , &Omega f , is a hyperbolic set and Compact space compact . The set of periodic point s of f is dense in &Omega f . For surfaces, hyperbolicity of the nonwandering set implies the density of periodic points, but this is no longer true in higher dimensions. Nonetheless, axiom A diffeomorphisms are sometimes called hyperbolic diffeomorphisms , because the portion of M where the interesting dynamics occurs, namely, &Omega f , exhibits hyperbolic behavior.

The axiom of constructibility is a possible axiom for set theory in mathematics that asserts that every set is Constructible universe constructible . The axiom is usually written as V L , where V and L denote the von Neumann universe and the constructible universe , respectively. Implications The axiom of constructibility implies the axiom of choice over Zermelo Fraenkel set theory . It also settles many natural mathematical questions independent of Zermelo Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice ZFC . For example, the axiom of constructibility implies the Continuum hypothesis The generalized continuum hypothesis generalized continuum hypothesis , the negation of Suslin s hypothesis , and the existence of an analytical hierarchy analytical in fact, math Delta 1 2 math non measurable set of real numbers, all of which are independent of ZFC. The axiom of constructibility implies the non existence of those large cardinals with consistency strength greater or equal to zero sharp 0 , which includes some relatively small large cardinals. Thus, no cardinal can be sub 1 sub Erd s cardinal Erd s in L . While L does contain the initial ordinals of those large cardinals when they exist in a supermodel of L , and they are still initial ordinals in L , it excludes the auxiliary structures e.g. measurable cardinal measures which endow those cardinals with their large cardinal properties. Although the axiom of constructibility does resolve many set theoretic questions, it is not typically accepted as an axiom for set theory in the same way as the ZFC axioms. Among set theorists of a Philosophy of mathematics Mathematical realism or Platonism realist bent, who believe that the axiom ... reason to believe that these are all of them.

The axiom states that, in the Plane mathematics plane , A Line mathematics line which Intersection set theory intersects one Edge graph theory edge of a triangle and misses the three Vertex geometry vertices must intersect one of the other two edges. Pasch published this axiom in 1882, and showed that Euclid s axioms were incomplete.

In axiomatic set theory and the branches of logic , mathematics , and computer science that use it, the axiom of union is one of the axiom s of Zermelo Fraenkel set theory , stating that, for any set x there is a set y whose elements are precisely the elements of the elements of x . Together with the axiom of pairing this implies that for any two sets, there is a set that contains exactly the elements of both. Formal statement In the formal language of the Zermelo Fraenkel axioms, the axiom reads math forall A , exist B , forall c , c in B iff exist D , c in D and D in A , math or in words Given any Set mathematics set A , Existential quantification there is a set B such that, for any element c , c is a member of B if and only if there is a set D such that c is a member of D logical conjunction and D is a member of A . Interpretation What the axiom is really saying is that, given a set A , we can find a set B whose members are precisely the members of the members of A . By the axiom of extensionality this set B is unique and it is called the union set theory union of A , and denoted math bigcup A math . Thus the essence of the axiom is The union of a set is a set. The axiom of union is generally considered uncontroversial, and it or an equivalent appears in just about any alternative axiomatization of set theory. Note that there is no corresponding axiom of intersection set theory intersection . If A is a nonempty set containing E , then we can form the intersection math bigcap A math using the axiom schema of specification as c in E for all D in A , c is in D , so no separate axiom of intersection is necessary. If A is the empty set , then trying to form the intersection of A as c for all D in A , c is in D is not permitted by the axioms.

Axiom S5 is the distinctive axiom of the S5 modal logic S5 modal logic and states that if possibly p , then necessarily possibly p . It also states, perhaps less intuitively and more controversially, that if possibly necessarily p , then necessarily p . The use of S5 is to eliminate excessive qualifiers or modal operators to a proposition, and instead, to accept the final qualifier as the only significant qualifier. That is, S5 discounts all but the final possibly or necessarily. The axiom is given as either Possibly P implies Necessarily Possibly p math Diamond p to Box Diamond p math CMpLMp in polish notation Possibly Necessarily P implies Necessarily p math Diamond Box p to Box p math CMLpLp in polish notation Both of these axioms are properly called axiom 5. Basic Introduction to Modal Logic books for example Hughes and Cresswell s, or Brian Chellas show how this leads in S5 to theorems that can remove all but the last modal operator in a modal stack and get something equivalent to just the last one.

Basic Definition and Requirements An axiom P is independent if there are no other axioms Q such that Q implies P. In many cases independence is desired, either to reach the logical consequence conclusion of a reduced set of axioms, or to be able to replace an independent axiom to create a more concise system for example, the parallel postulate is independent of Euclid s Axioms, and can provide interesting results when a negated or manipulated form of the postulate is put into its place . Proving Independence If the original axioms Q are not consistent , then no new axiom is independent. If they are consistent, then P can be shown independent of them if adding P to them, or adding the negation of P, both yield consistent sets of axioms. ref Kenneth Kunen, Set Theory An Introduction to Independence Proofs , page xi. ref For example, Euclid s Axioms, with the parallel postulate included, yields Euclidean geometry, and with the parallel postulate negated, yields non Euclidean spherical or hyperbolic geometry.

The Wolfram axiom is the result of a computer exploration undertaken by Stephen Wolfram ref Stephen Wolfram, A New Kind of Science, 2002, p. 808 811 and 1174. ref in his A New Kind of Science looking for the shortest single axiom equivalent to the axioms of Boolean algebra or propositional calculus . The result ref Rudy Rucker, A review of NKS, The Mathematical Association of America, Monthly 110, 2003. ref of his search was an axiom with six Nand s and two variables equivalent to Boolean algebra a.b .c . a. a.c .a c With the dot representing the Nand logical operation also known as the Sheffer stroke , with the following meaning p Nand q is true if and only if not both p and q are true. It is named for Henry M. Sheffer , who proved that all the usual operators of Boolean algebra Not, And, Or, Implies could be expressed in terms of Nand. This means that logic can be set up using a single operator. Wolfram s 25 candidates are precisely the set of Sheffer identities of length less or equal to 15 elements excluding mirror images that have no noncommutative models of size less or equal to 4 variables ref William Mccune, Robert Veroff, Branden Fitelson, Kenneth Harris, Andrew Feist and Larry Wos, Short Single Axioms for Boolean algebra, J.
