Axiom of empty set

In axiomatic set theory, the axiom of empty set,[1][2] also called the axiom of null set[3] and the axiom of existence,[4][5] is a statement that asserts the existence of a set with no elements.[3] It is an axiom of Kripke–Platek set theory and the variant of general set theory that Burgess (2005) calls "ST," and a demonstrable truth in Zermelo set theory and Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory, with or without the axiom of choice.[6]
