Mathlib.SetTheory.Game.Ordinal

Ordinals as games #

We define the canonical map OrdinalSetTheory.PGame, where every ordinal is mapped to the game whose left set consists of all previous ordinals.

The map to surreals is defined in Ordinal.toSurreal.

Main declarations #

@[irreducible]

Converts an ordinal into the corresponding pre-game.

              @[irreducible]

              The natural addition of ordinals corresponds to their sum as games.

              @[irreducible]

              The natural multiplication of ordinals corresponds to their product as pre-games.
