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.

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 show that via the Grassmann-Pl\"ucker relations, the various apparent unrelated concepts, such as duality, matroids, qubits, twistors and surreal numbers are, in fact, deeply connected. Moreover, we conjecture the possibility that these…

Conway's surreal numbers were aptly named by Knuth. This note examines how far one can get towards implementing surreals and the arithmetic operations on them so that they execute efficiently. Lazy evaluation and recursive data structures…

The class $\mathbf{No}$ of surreal numbers, which John Conway discovered while studying combinatorial games, possesses a rich numerical structure and shares many arithmetic and algebraic properties with the real numbers. Some work has also…

We take up Dedekind's question ''Was sind und was sollen die Zahlen?'' (''What are numbers, and would should they be?''), with the aim to describe the place that Conway's (Surreal) Numbers and Games take, or deserve to take, in the whole of…

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…

The present article surveys surreal numbers with an informal approach, from their very first definition to their structure of universal real closed analytic and exponential field. Then we proceed to give an overview of the recent…

The notion of surreal number was introduced by J.H. Conway in the mid 1970's: the surreal numbers constitute a linearly ordered (proper) class $No$ containing the class of all ordinal numbers ($On$) that, working within the background set…

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…

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…

The proper class of Conway's surreal numbers forms a rich totally ordered algebraically closed field with many arithmetic and algebraic properties close to those of real numbers, the ordinals, and infinitesimal numbers. In this paper, we…

In his monograph On Numbers and Games, J. H. Conway introduced a real-closed field No of surreal numbers containing the reals and the ordinals, as well as a vast array of less familiar numbers. A longstanding aim has been to develop…

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…
