List of axioms in set theory
Axiom of choice: The product of any set of non-empty sets is non-empty
Axiom of countable choice: The product of a countable number of non-empty sets is non-empty
Axiom of dependent choice: A weak form of the axiom of choice
Axiom of finite choice: Any product of non-empty finite sets is non-empty
Axiom of global choice: There is a global choice function
Axiom of adjunction: Adjoining a set to another set produces a set
Axiom of comprehension: The class of all sets with a given property is a set (usually contradictory)
Axiom of constructibility: Any set is constructible, often abbreviated as V=L
Axiom of countability: Every set is hereditarily countable
Axiom of elementary sets: describes the sets with 0, 1, or 2 elements
Axiom of extensionality (extent)
Axiom of heredity: Any member of a set is a set (used in Ackermann's system)
Axiom of limitation of size: A class is a set iff it has smaller cardinality than the class of all sets
Axiom of empty set: The empty set exists
Axiom of infinity: The infinite set exists
Axiom of pairing: Unordered pairs of sets are sets
Axiom of power set (subsets): The powerset of any set is a set
Axiom of regularity (foundation): sets are well founded
Axiom of union (amalgamation): The union of all elements of a set is a set
Axiom of substitution (replacement): The image of a set under a function is a set
Axiom schema of replacement: The image of a set under a function is a set
Axiom schema of separation (specification): The elements of a set with some property form a set
Axiom schema of predicative separation: Axiom of separation for formulas whose quantifiers are bounded
Axiom of collection: means either the axiom of replacement or the axiom of separation
Axiom of determinacy: Certain games are determined, in other words one player has a winning strategy
Axiom of projective determinacy: Certain games given by projective set are determined, in other words one player has a winning strategy
Axiom of real determinacy: Certain games are determined, in other words one player has a winning strategy
Aczel's anti-foundation axiom: Every accessible pointed directed graph corresponds to a unique set
AD+: An extension of the axiom of determinacy
Axiom F: The class of all ordinals is Mahlo (Mahlo cardinals)
Freiling's axiom of symmetry: Equivalent to the negation of the continuum hypothesis
Martin's axiom: Cardinals, less than the cardinality of the continuum, behave like ℵ0
The proper forcing axiom: Strengthening of Martin's axiom
