Cardinal numbers

Cardinal characteristic of the continuum

In the mathematical discipline of set theory, a cardinal characteristic of the continuum is an infinite cardinal number that may consistently lie strictly between (the cardinality of the set of natural numbers), and the cardinality of the continuum, that is, the cardinality of the set of all real numbers. The latter cardinal is denoted or . A variety of such cardinal characteristics arise naturally, and much work has been done in determining what relations between them are provable, and constructing models of set theory for various consistent configurations of them.

What is the definition of a ray

👉 Learn essential definitions of points, lines, and planes. A point defines a position in space. A line is a set of points. A line can be created by a minimum of two points. A plane is a flat surface made up of at least three points. A plane contains infinite number of lines. A ray is a li

The Continuum Hypothesis

Should the power class of any non-empty set even be a set? It's not in constructive Zermelo-Fraenkel, but once you add the Axiom of Choice you end up in ZFC where you have to assign it a cardinal number. But then, well-orderings on something like the reals provably exist that are not descr

John Roberts: On finding integrals in birational maps

Abstract: At the heart of an integrable discrete map is the existence of a sufficient number of integrals of motion. When the map is birational and the integral is assumed to be a rational function of the variables, many results from algebraic geometry and number theory can be employed in

The circle and Cartesian coordinates | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 5 | NJ Wildberger

This video introduces basic facts about points, lines and the unit circle in terms of Cartesian coordinates. A point is an ordered pair of (rational) numbers, a line is a proportion (a:b:c) representing the equation ax+by=c, and the unit circle is x^2+y^2=1. With this notation we determine

algebraic geometry 30 The Ax Grothendieck theorem

This lecture is part of an online algebraic geometry course, based on chapter I of "Algebraic geometry" by Hartshorne. It covers the Ax-Grothendieck theorem, which states that an injective regular map between varieties is surjective. The proof uses a strange technique: first prove the resu
