Cardinal arithmetic #
Arithmetic operations on cardinals are defined in SetTheory/Cardinal/Basic.lean
. However, proving
the important theorem c * c = c
for infinite cardinals and its corollaries requires the use of
ordinal numbers. This is done within this file.
Main statements #
Cardinal.mul_eq_max
andCardinal.add_eq_max
state that the product (resp. sum) of two infinite cardinals is just their maximum. Several variations around this fact are also given.Cardinal.mk_list_eq_mk
: whenα
is infinite,α
andList α
have the same cardinality.

cardinal arithmetic (for infinite cardinals)
Properties of mul
#
If α
is an infinite type, then α × α
and α
have the same cardinality.
If α
and β
are infinite types, then the cardinality of α × β
is the maximum
of the cardinalities of α
and β
.
Properties of add
#
If α
is an infinite type, then α ⊕ α
and α
have the same cardinality.
If α
is an infinite type, then the cardinality of α ⊕ β
is the maximum
of the cardinalities of α
and β
.
