Statement

1.6  Existential uniqueness
Syntax	weu 2607	Extend wff definition to include existential uniqueness ("there exists a unique 𝑥 such that 𝜑").
wff ∃!𝑥𝜑
Syntax	wmo 2608	Extend wff definition to include uniqueness ("there exists at most one 𝑥 such that 𝜑").
wff ∃*𝑥𝜑
Theorem	eujust 2609*	A soundness justification theorem for df-eu 2611, showing that the definition is equivalent to itself with its dummy variable renamed. Note that 𝑦 and 𝑧 needn't be distinct variables. See eujustALT 2610 for a proof that provides an example of how it can be achieved through the use of dvelim 2477. (Contributed by NM, 11-Mar-2010.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 9-Jul-2011.)
⊢ (∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝜑 ↔ 𝑥 = 𝑦) ↔ ∃𝑧∀𝑥(𝜑 ↔ 𝑥 = 𝑧))
Theorem	eujustALT 2610*	Alternate proof of eujust 2609 illustrating the use of dvelim 2477. (Contributed by NM, 11-Mar-2010.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝜑 ↔ 𝑥 = 𝑦) ↔ ∃𝑧∀𝑥(𝜑 ↔ 𝑥 = 𝑧))
Definition	df-eu 2611*	Define existential uniqueness, i.e. "there exists exactly one 𝑥 such that 𝜑." Definition 10.1 of [BellMachover] p. 97; also Definition *14.02 of [WhiteheadRussell] p. 175. Other possible definitions are given by eu1 2648, eu2 2647, eu3v 2635, and eu5 2633 (which in some cases we show with a hypothesis 𝜑 → ∀𝑦𝜑 in place of a distinct variable condition on 𝑦 and 𝜑). Double uniqueness is tricky: ∃!𝑥∃!𝑦𝜑 does not mean "exactly one 𝑥 and one 𝑦 " (see 2eu4 2694). (Contributed by NM, 12-Aug-1993.)
⊢ (∃!𝑥𝜑 ↔ ∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝜑 ↔ 𝑥 = 𝑦))
Definition	df-mo 2612	Define "there exists at most one 𝑥 such that 𝜑." Here we define it in terms of existential uniqueness. Notation of [BellMachover] p. 460, whose definition we show as mo3 2645. For other possible definitions see mo2 2616 and mo4 2655. (Contributed by NM, 8-Mar-1995.)
⊢ (∃*𝑥𝜑 ↔ (∃𝑥𝜑 → ∃!𝑥𝜑))
Theorem	euequ1 2613*	Equality has existential uniqueness. Special case of eueq1 3520 proved using only predicate calculus. The proof needs 𝑦 = 𝑧 be free of 𝑥. This is ensured by having 𝑥 and 𝑦 be distinct. Alternately, a distinctor ¬ ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦 could have been used instead. (Contributed by Stefan Allan, 4-Dec-2008.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 8-Sep-2019.)
⊢ ∃!𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	mo2v 2614*	Alternate definition of "at most one." Unlike mo2 2616, which is slightly more general, it does not depend on ax-11 2183 and ax-13 2391, whence it is preferable within predicate logic. Elsewhere, most theorems depend on these axioms anyway, so this advantage is no longer important. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 27-May-2019.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 10-Nov-2019.)
⊢ (∃*𝑥𝜑 ↔ ∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝑥 = 𝑦))

Theorem	2eu4 2694*	This theorem provides us with a definition of double existential uniqueness ("exactly one 𝑥 and exactly one 𝑦"). Naively one might think (incorrectly) that it could be defined by ∃!𝑥∃!𝑦𝜑. See 2eu1 2691 for a condition under which the naive definition holds and 2exeu 2687 for a one-way implication. See 2eu5 2695 and 2eu8 2698 for alternate definitions. (Contributed by NM, 3-Dec-2001.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 14-Sep-2019.)

Theorem	2eu5 2695*	An alternate definition of double existential uniqueness (see 2eu4 2694). A mistake sometimes made in the literature is to use ∃!𝑥∃!𝑦 to mean "exactly one 𝑥 and exactly one 𝑦." (For example, see Proposition 7.53 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 53.) It turns out that this is actually a weaker assertion, as can be seen by expanding out the formal definitions. This theorem shows that the erroneous definition can be repaired by conjoining ∀𝑥∃*𝑦𝜑 as an additional condition. The correct definition apparently has never been published. (∃* means "exists at most one."). (Contributed by NM, 26-Oct-2003.)

Theorem	2eu8 2698	Two equivalent expressions for double existential uniqueness. Curiously, we can put ∃! on either of the internal conjuncts but not both. We can also commute ∃!𝑥∃!𝑦 using 2eu7 2697. (Contributed by NM, 20-Feb-2005.)
