Local reflections of choice

Abstract

Under the assumption of small violations of choice with seed $S$ ($\mathsf{SVC}(S)$), the failure of many choice principles reflect to to local properties of $S$, which can be a helpful characterisation for preservation proofs. We demonstrate the reflections of $\mathsf{DC}$, ${\mathsf{AC}}_{\hat{I}}»$, $\mathsf{PP}$, and other important forms of choice. As a consequence, we show that if $S$ is infinite then $S$ can be partitioned into $\ddot{I}‰$ many non-empty subsets.
