Axiom ax-pow 4769
Description: Axiom of Power Sets. An axiom of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. It states that a set 𝑦 exists that includes the power set of a given set 𝑥 i.e. contains every subset of 𝑥. The variant axpow2 4771 uses explicit subset notation. A version using class notation is pwex 4774. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.)
