    Maximal ideals and the axiom of choice (English)
    0 references
    Working in ZF set theory without the axiom of choice, the author provides a highly useful survey of the relative positions of maximal ideal (resp. filter) theorems in the hierarchy of weak choice principles in algebra, topology, order theory, graph theory, propositional logic, complexity theory, welfare theory, and quantum logic. The author singles out and discusses seven open problems that ``serve as an illustration of how `mainstream' mathematics (in ZFC) might be stimulated by the study of weak choice principles''.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0972.00067].
