Several authors have conjectured that Conway's field of surreal numbers, equipped with the exponential function of Kruskal and Gonshor, can be described as a field of transseries and admits a compatible differential structure of Hardy-type.…

We give a presentation of Conway's surreal numbers focusing on the connections with transseries and Hardy fields and trying to simplify when possible the existing treatments.

We study subfields of surreal numbers, called hyperseries fields, that are suited to be equipped with derivations and composition laws. We show how to define embeddings on hyperseries fields that commute with transfinite sums and all…

We show that the natural embedding of the differential field of transseries into Conway's field of surreal numbers with the Berarducci-Mantova derivation is an elementary embedding. We also prove that any Hardy field embeds into the field…

Germs of real-valued functions, surreal numbers, and transseries are three ways to enrich the real continuum by infinitesimal and infinite quantities. Each of these comes with naturally interacting notions of ordering and derivative. The…

The class of surreal numbers, denoted by $\textbf{No}$, initially proposed by Conway, is a universal ordered field in the sense that any ordered field can be embedded in it. They include in particular the real numbers and the ordinal…

We show that \'Ecalle's transseries and their variants (LE and EL-series) can be interpreted as functions from positive infinite surreal numbers to surreal numbers. The same holds for a much larger class of formal series, here called…

Conway's field No of surreal numbers comes both with a natural total order and an additional "simplicity relation" which is also a partial order. Considering No as a doubly ordered structure for these two orderings, an isomorphic copy of No…

Surreal numbers form the ultimate extension of the field of real numbers with infinitely large and small quantities and in particular with all ordinal numbers. Hyperseries can be regarded as the ultimate formal device for representing…

From the simplest point of view, transseries are a new kind of expansion for real-valued functions. But transseries constitute much more than that--they have a very rich (algebraic, combinatorial, analytic) structure. The set of transseries…

We study the automorphism group of the field of surreal numbers. Our main structure theorem presents a decomposition of this group into a product of five significant factors. Using the representation of surreal numbers as generalized power…

We make a number of observations on Conway surreal number theory which may be useful, for further developments, in both in mathematics and theoretical physics. In particular, we argue that the concepts of surreal numbers and matroids can be…
