For any ordinal $\alpha > 0$, we show how to define a hyperexponential $E_{\omega^{\alpha}}$ and a hyperlogarithm $L_{\omega^{\alpha}}$ on the class $\mathbf{No}^{>, \succ}$ of positive infinitely large surreal numbers. Such functions are…
We define a multiplication on the surreal numbers as higher inductive-inductive types.
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…
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…
Treating divergent series properly has been an ongoing issue in mathematics. However, many of the problems in divergent series stem from the fact that divergent series were discovered prior to having a number system which could handle them.…
We note that if a sequence of real numbers converges to some limit, then the sequence of the corresponding strings in the surreal $+,-$ sign expansion representation converges, for a natural notion of string convergence, to the string…
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…
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…
On Cuesta-Conway numbers as an extension of Cantor's ordinals: A short introduction to surreal numbers. The class of Cuesta-Conway numbers, the surreal numbers, can be defined simply, starting from their normal forms (families of…
Within the framework of computable infinitary continuous logic, we develop a system of hyperarithmetic numerals. These numerals are infinitary sentences in a metric language $L$ that have the same truth value in every interpretation of $L$.…
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 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.
Using the sign expansion of the surreal numbers, we give a possible notion of convergence for surreal sequences.
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…
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…
In this paper we present new ways to construct external subsets of nonstandard models of arithmetic using mostly internal sets, and show that if an ultraproduct of prime finite fields includes a copy of the algebraic real numbers then…
Surreal numbers are created recursively, with the "birthday" being the depth of the recursion. Birthday arithmetic describes how birthdays of surreal numbers are transformed by standard arithemetic operations. This paper shows that birthday…
We develop new aspects of the the of numerosity theory; more exactly, we emphasize its relation with the ordinal numbers, cardinal numbers, hyperreal numbers and surreal numbers. In particular, we combine the notion of numerosity with the…
In this expository article, the real numbers are defined as infinite decimals. After defining an ordering relation and the arithmetic operations, it is shown that the set of real numbers is a complete ordered field. It is further shown that…
Prime numbers are fascinating by the way they appear in the set of natural numbers. Despite several results enlighting us about their repartition, the set of prime numbers is often informally qualified as misterious. In the present paper,…
