Ordinals #

Ordinals are defined as equivalences of well-ordered sets under order isomorphism. They are endowed with a total order, where an ordinal is smaller than another one if it embeds into it as an initial segment (or, equivalently, in any way). This total order is well founded.

Main definitions #

A conditionally complete linear order with bot structure is registered on ordinals, where is 0, the ordinal corresponding to the empty type, and Inf is the minimum for nonempty sets and 0 for the empty set by convention.

Notations #

Definition of ordinals #

structure WellOrder :
Type (u + 1)

Bundled structure registering a well order on a type. Ordinals will be defined as a quotient of this type.

  • α : Type u

    The underlying type of the order.

  • r : selfselfProp

    The underlying relation of the order.

  • wo : IsWellOrder self self.r

    The proposition that r is a well-ordering for α.

    theorem WellOrder.eta (o : WellOrder) :

    def Ordinal :
    Type (u + 1)

    Ordinal.{u} is the type of well orders in Type u, up to order isomorphism.

    Equations
    Instances For

      A "canonical" type order-isomorphic to the ordinal o, living in the same universe. This is defined through the axiom of choice.

      Use this over Iio o only when it is paramount to have a Type u rather than a Type (u + 1).

                                                        The ordinal corresponding to a cardinal c is the least ordinal whose cardinal is c. This is the order-embedding version. For the regular function, see ord.

                                                          The cardinal univ is the cardinality of ordinal univ, or equivalently the cardinal of Ordinal.{u}, or Cardinal.{u}, as an element of Cardinal.{v} (when u < v).
