Cardinal Numbers #
We define cardinal numbers as a quotient of types under the equivalence relation of equinumerity.
Main definitions #
Cardinal
is the type of cardinal numbers (in a given universe).Cardinal.mk α
or#α
is the cardinality ofα
. The notation#
lives in the localeCardinal
.- Addition
c₁ + c₂
is defined byCardinal.add_def α β : #α + #β = #(α ⊕ β)
. - Multiplication
c₁ * c₂
is defined byCardinal.mul_def : #α * #β = #(α × β)
. - The order
c₁ ≤ c₂
is defined byCardinal.le_def α β : #α ≤ #β ↔ Nonempty (α ↪ β)
. - Exponentiation
c₁ ^ c₂
is defined byCardinal.power_def α β : #α ^ #β = #(β → α)
. Cardinal.isLimit c
means thatc
is a (weak) limit cardinal:c ≠ 0 ∧ ∀ x < c, succ x < c
.Cardinal.aleph0
orℵ₀
is the cardinality ofℕ
. This definition is universe polymorphic:Cardinal.aleph0.{u} : Cardinal.{u}
(contrast withℕ : Type
, which lives in a specific universe). In some cases the universe level has to be given explicitly.Cardinal.sum
is the sum of an indexed family of cardinals, i.e. the cardinality of the corresponding sigma type.Cardinal.prod
is the product of an indexed family of cardinals, i.e. the cardinality of the corresponding pi type.Cardinal.powerlt a b
ora ^< b
is defined as the supremum ofa ^ c
forc < b
.
Main instances #
- Cardinals form a

with the aforementioned sum and product. - Cardinals form a
SuccOrder
. UseOrder.succ c
for the smallest cardinal greater thanc
. - The less than relation on cardinals forms a well-order.
- Cardinals form a
ConditionallyCompleteLinearOrderBot
. Bounded sets for cardinals in universeu
are precisely the sets indexed by some type in universeu
, seeCardinal.bddAbove_iff_small
. One can usesSup
for the cardinal supremum, andsInf
for the minimum of a set of cardinals.
Main Statements #
- Cantor's theorem:
Cardinal.cantor c : c < 2 ^ c
. - König's theorem:
Cardinal.sum_lt_prod
Implementation notes #
- There is a type of cardinal numbers in every universe level:
Cardinal.{u} : Type (u + 1)
is the quotient of types inType u
. The operationCardinal.lift
lifts cardinal numbers to a higher level. - Cardinal arithmetic specifically for infinite cardinals (like
κ * κ = κ
) is in the fileMathlib/SetTheory/Cardinal/Ordinal.lean
. - There is an instance
Pow Cardinal
, but this will only fire if Lean already knows that both the base and the exponent live in the same universe. As a workaround, you can add
to a file. This notation will work even if Lean doesn't know yet that the base and the exponent live in the same universe (but no exponents in other types can be used). (Porting note: This last point might need to be updated.)local infixr:80 " ^' " => @HPow.hPow Cardinal Cardinal Cardinal _

Definition of cardinals #
The equivalence relation on types given by equivalence (bijective correspondence) of types. Quotienting by this equivalence relation gives the cardinal numbers.
Equations
- Cardinal.isEquivalent = { r := fun (α β : Type ?u.13) => Nonempty (α ≃ β), iseqv := Cardinal.isEquivalent.proof_1 }
Cardinal.{u}
is the type of cardinal numbers in Type u
,
defined as the quotient of Type u
by existence of an equivalence
(a bijection with explicit inverse).

Lifting cardinals to a higher universe #
The universe lift operation on cardinals. You can specify the universes explicitly with
lift.{u v} : Cardinal.{v} → Cardinal.{max v u}
Equations
- Cardinal.lift.{?u.14, ?u.13} c = Cardinal.map ULift.{?u.14, ?u.13} (fun (x x_1 : Type ?u.13) (e : x ≃ x_1) => Equiv.ulift.trans (e.trans Equiv.ulift.symm)) c
Instances For
lift.{max u v, u}
equals lift.{v, u}
.
Unfortunately, the simp lemma doesn't work.
lift.{max v u, u}
equals lift.{v, u}
.
A cardinal lifted to a lower or equal universe equals itself.
Unfortunately, the simp lemma doesn't work.
A cardinal lifted to the same universe equals itself.
A cardinal lifted to the zero universe equals itself.

Because Lean often can not realize it should use this specialization itself,
we provide this statement separately so you don't have to solve the specialization problem either.

generalization.
Well-ordering theorem #
An embedding of any type to the set of cardinals in its universe.
Equations
- embeddingToCardinal = Classical.choice ⋯
Instances For
Any type can be endowed with a well order, obtained by pulling back the well order over cardinals by some embedding.
Equations
- WellOrderingRel = ⇑embeddingToCardinal ⁻¹'o fun (x1 x2 : Cardinal.{?u.22}) => x1 < x2
Instances For
The well-ordering theorem (or Zermelo's theorem): every type has a well-order
Small sets of cardinals #
A set of cardinals is bounded above iff it's small, i.e. it corresponds to a usual ZFC set.
Bounds on suprema #
The lift of a supremum is the supremum of the lifts.
The lift of a supremum is the supremum of the lifts.
To prove that the lift of a supremum is bounded by some cardinal t
,
it suffices to show that the lift of each cardinal is bounded by t
.
To prove an inequality between the lifts to a common universe of two different supremums, it suffices to show that the lift of each cardinal from the smaller supremum if bounded by the lift of some cardinal from the larger supremum.
A variant of lift_iSup_le_lift_iSup
with universes specialized via w = v
and w' = v'
.
This is sometimes necessary to avoid universe unification issues.
The indexed product of cardinals is the cardinality of the Pi type (dependent product).
Equations
- Cardinal.prod f = Cardinal.mk ((i : ι) → Quotient.out (f i))
Instances For
Similar to mk_pi_congr

generalization.
