Set theory | Mathematical terminology

Almost

In set theory, when dealing with sets of infinite size, the term almost or nearly is used to refer to all but a negligible amount of elements in the set. The notion of "negligible" depends on the context, and may mean "of measure zero" (in a measure space), "finite" (when infinite sets are involved), or "countable" (when uncountably infinite sets are involved). For example: * The set is almost for any in , because only finitely many natural numbers are less than . * The set of prime numbers is not almost , because there are infinitely many natural numbers that are not prime numbers. * The set of transcendental numbers are almost , because the algebraic real numbers form a countable subset of the set of real numbers (which is uncountable). * The Cantor set is uncountably infinite, but has Lebesgue measure zero. So almost all real numbers in (0, 1) are members of the complement of the Cantor set. (Wikipedia).

Can You Define the Immeasurable?

What is infinity? Can you define something that, by definition, has no boundaries? A subject extensively studied by philosophers, mathematicians, and more recently, physicists and cosmologists, infinity still stands as an enigma of the intellectual world. We asked people from all walks of

Peter SCHOLZE (oct 2011) - 3/6 Perfectoid Spaces and the Weight-Monodromy Conjecture

We will introduce the notion of perfectoid spaces. The theory can be seen as a kind of rigid geometry of infinite type, and the most important feature is that the theories over (deeply ramified extensions of) Q_p and over F_p((t)) are equivalent, generalizing to the relative situation a th
