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 #
-
Ordinal
: the type of ordinals (in a given universe) -
Ordinal.type r
: given a well-founded orderr
, this is the corresponding ordinal -
Ordinal.typein r a
: given a well-founded orderr
on a typeα
, anda : α
, the ordinal corresponding to all elements smaller thana
. -
enum r o h
: given a well-orderr
on a typeα
, and an ordinalo
strictly smaller than the ordinal corresponding tor
(this is the assumptionh
), returns theo
-th element ofα
. In other words, the elements ofα
can be enumerated using ordinals up totype r
. -
Ordinal.card o
: the cardinality of an ordinalo
. -
Ordinal.lift
lifts an ordinal in universeu
to an ordinal in universemax u v
. For a version registering additionally that this is an initial segment embedding, seeOrdinal.lift.initialSeg
. For a version registering that it is a principal segment embedding ifu < v
, seeOrdinal.lift.principalSeg
. -
Ordinal.omega
orω
is the order type ofℕ
. This definition is universe polymorphic:Ordinal.omega.{u} : Ordinal.{u}
(contrast withℕ : Type
, which lives in a specific universe). In some cases the universe level has to be given explicitly. -
o₁ + o₂
is the order on the disjoint union ofo₁
ando₂
obtained by declaring that every element ofo₁
is smaller than every element ofo₂
. The main properties of addition (and the other operations on ordinals) are stated and proved inOrdinal/Arithmetic.lean
. Here, we only introduce it and prove its basic properties to deduce the fact that the order on ordinals is total (and well founded). -
succ o
is the successor of the ordinalo
. -
Cardinal.ord c
: whenc
is a cardinal,ord c
is the smallest ordinal with this cardinality. It is the canonical way to represent a cardinal with an ordinal.
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.

Definition and first properties of addition on ordinals #
In this paragraph, we introduce the addition on ordinals, and prove just enough properties to
deduce that the order on ordinals is total (and therefore well-founded). Further properties of
the addition, together with properties of the other operations, are proved in

Representing a cardinal with an ordinal #
The ordinal corresponding to a cardinal c
is the least ordinal
whose cardinal is c
. For the order-embedding version, see ord.order_embedding
.
Equations
- Cardinal.ord c = let F := fun (α : Type u) => ⨅ (r : { r : α → α → Prop // IsWellOrder α r }), Ordinal.type ↑r; Quot.liftOn c F Cardinal.ord.proof_2
Instances For
A variation on Cardinal.lt_ord
using ≤
: If o
is no greater than the
initial ordinal of cardinality c
, then its cardinal is no greater than c
.
The converse, however, is false (for instance, o = ω+1
and c = ℵ₀
).
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
