The hyperserial field of surreal numbers

Logic 2023-10-24 v1

Abstract

For any ordinal α>0\alpha > 0, we show how to define a hyperexponential EωαE_{\omega^{\alpha}} and a hyperlogarithm LωαL_{\omega^{\alpha}} on the class No>,\mathbf{No}^{>, \succ} of positive infinitely large surreal numbers. Such functions are archetypes of extremely fast and slowly growing functions at infinity. We also show that the surreal numbers form a so-called hyperserial field for our definition.
