Abstract
Let be a nonstandard extension of and be a positive infinitesimal in . We show how to create a variety of isomorphisms between A. Robinson's field of asymptotic numbers and the Hahn field , where is the residue class field of . Then, assuming that is fully saturated we show that is isomorphic to and so contains a copy of . As a consequence (that is important for applications in non-linear theory of generalized functions) we show that every two fields of asymptotic numbers corresponding to different scales are isomorphic.
