This theory file deals with results on cardinal numbers (cardinals). Cardinals are a genaralization of the natural numbers, used to measure the cardinality (size) of sets. Contributed by Daniel de la Concepcion.

Some new ideas on cardinals

All the results of this section are done without assuming the Axiom of Choice. With the Axiom of Choice in play, the proofs become easier and some of the assumptions may be dropped.

Since General Topology Theory is closely related to Set Theory, it is very interesting to make use of all the possibilities of Set Theory to try to classify homeomorphic topological spaces. These ideas are generally used to prove that two topological spaces are not homeomorphic.

There exist cardinals which are the successor of another cardinal, but; as happens with ordinals, there are cardinals which are limit cardinal.

Definition

$$\text{LimitC}(i) \equiv \text{Card}(i) \wedge 0 \lt i \wedge (\forall y.\ (y \lt i\wedge \text{Card}(y)) \longrightarrow \text{csucc}(y) \lt i)$$

Simple fact used a couple of times in proofs.

Main result on cardinals (without the Axiom of Choice)

If two sets are strictly injective to an infinite cardinal, then so is its union. For the case of successor cardinal, this theorem is done in the isabelle library in a more general setting; but that theorem is of not use in the case where $$\text{LimitC}(Q)$$ and it also makes use of the Axiom of Choice. The mentioned theorem is in the theory file Cardinal_AC.thy

Note that if $$Q$$ is finite and different from $$1$$, let's assume $$Q=n$$, then the union of $$A$$ and $$B$$ is not bounded by $$Q$$. Counterexample: two disjoint sets of $$n-1$$ elements each have a union of $$2n-2$$ elements which are more than $$n$$.

Note also that if $$Q=1$$ then $$A$$ and $$B$$ must be empty and the union is then empty too; and $$Q$$ cannot be 0 because no set is injective and not bijective to 0.

The proof is divided in two parts, first the case when both sets $$A$$ and $$B$$ are finite; and second, the part when at least one of them is infinite. In the first part, it is used the fact that a finite union of finite sets is finite. In the second part it is used the linear order on cardinals (ordinals). This proof can not be generalized to a setting with an infinite union easily.

Choice axioms

We want to prove some theorems assuming that some version of the Axiom of Choice holds. To avoid introducing it as an axiom we will defin an appropriate predicate and put that in the assumptions of the theorems. That way technically we stay inside ZF.

The first predicate we define states that the axiom of $$Q$$-choice holds for subsets of $$K$$ if we can find a choice function for every family of subsets of $$K$$ whose (that family's) cardinality does not exceed $$Q$$.

Definition

$$\text{ the axiom of } Q \text{ choice holds for subsets }K \equiv \text{Card}(Q) \wedge (\forall M N.\ (M \preceq Q \wedge (\forall t\in M.\ Nt\neq 0 \wedge Nt\subseteq K)) \longrightarrow (\exists f.\ f:\text{Pi}(M,\lambda t.\ Nt) \wedge (\forall t\in M.\ ft\in Nt)))$$

Next we define a general form of $$Q$$ choice where we don't require a collection of files to be included in a file.

Definition

$$\text{ the axiom of } Q \text{ choice holds } \equiv \text{Card}(Q) \wedge (\forall M N.\ (M \preceq Q \wedge (\forall t\in M.\ Nt\neq 0)) \longrightarrow (\exists f.\ f:\text{Pi}(M,\lambda t.\ Nt) \wedge (\forall t\in M.\ ft\in Nt)))$$

The axiom of finite choice always holds.

The difference with the previous result is that in this one A is not a subset of an ordinal, it is only injective with one.

theorem surj_fun_inv_2:

assumes $$f:\text{surj}(A,B)$$, $$A\preceq Q$$, $$Ord(Q)$$

shows $$B\preceq A$$proof
from assms(2) obtain $$h$$ where h_def: $$h\in \text{inj}(A,Q)$$ using lepoll_def
then have bij: $$h\in \text{bij}(A,\text{range}(h))$$ using inj_bij_range
then obtain $$h1$$ where $$h1\in \text{bij}(\text{range}(h),A)$$ using bij_converse_bij
then have $$h1 \in \text{surj}(\text{range}(h),A)$$ using bij_def
with assms(1) have $$(f\circ h1)\in \text{surj}(\text{range}(h),B)$$ using comp_surj
moreover {
fix $$x$$
assume p: $$x\in \text{range}(h)$$
from bij have $$h\in \text{surj}(A,\text{range}(h))$$ using bij_def
with p obtain $$q$$ where $$q\in A$$ and $$h(q)=x$$ using surj_def
then have $$x\in Q$$ using h_def, inj_def
}
then have $$\text{range}(h)\subseteq Q$$
ultimately have $$B\preceq \text{range}(h)$$ using surj_fun_inv, assms(3)
moreover
have $$\text{range}(h)\approx A$$ using bij, eqpoll_def, eqpoll_sym
ultimately show $$B\preceq A$$ using lepoll_eq_trans
