Powerset Axiom
In mathematics, the axiom of power set is one of the Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms of axiomatic set theory. In the formal language of the Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms, the axiom reads: :\forall x \, \exists y \, \forall z \, [z \in y \iff \forall w \, (w \in z \Rightarrow w \in x)] where ''y'' is the Power set of ''x'', \mathcal(x). In English, this says: :Given any Set (mathematics), set ''x'', Existential quantification, there is a set \mathcal(x) such that, given any set ''z'', this set ''z'' is a member of \mathcal(x) if and only if every element of ''z'' is also an element of ''x''. More succinctly: ''for every set x, there is a set \mathcal(x) consisting precisely of the subsets of x.'' Note the subset relation \subseteq is not used in the formal definition as subset is not a primitive relation in formal set theory; rather, subset is defined in terms of set membership, \in. By the axiom of extensionality, the set \mathcal(x) is unique. The axiom of power set appears in mo ...
