Abstract
. We show that in set-theory without the axiom of choice ZF , the statement sH : (cid:16)Every proper closed subset of a (cid:28)nitary matroid is the intersection of hyperplanes including it(cid:17) implies AC fin , the axiom of choice for (nonempty) (cid:28)nite sets. We also provide an equivalent of the statement AC fin in terms of (cid:16)graphic(cid:17) matroids. Several open questions stay open in ZF , for example: does sH imply the Axiom of Choice?
