The Natural Numbers with Zero and Their Embedding into the Integers

The set of natural numbers with zero is the set of natural numbers together with zero, and sending zero to the integer zero and each natural number n to the integer ι(n) gives an injective map into the integers that preserves sums, products and order, with the nonnegative integers as its image.

Statement

In the setting of The Natural Numbers and the Natural Numbers with Zero: Arithmetic, Order, Induction and Recursion, let N0\mathbb{N}_{0} and 00 be as in The Class Omega of Natural Numbers with Zero §omega and The Class Omega of Natural Numbers with Zero §zero, with the addition, the multiplication and the order of N0\mathbb{N}_{0}, which on N\mathbb{N} are those of The Natural Numbers and the Natural Numbers with Zero: Arithmetic, Order, Induction and Recursion §numbers. Let Z\mathbb{Z}, its operations and order, 0Z0_{\mathbb{Z}} and ι\iota be as in The Integers §integers, The Integers §operations, The Integers §constants and The Integers §embedding.

N0=N∪{0}\mathbb{N}_{0}=\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\} and 0∉N0\notin\mathbb{N}.

There is exactly one map ι0:N0→Z\iota_{0}:\mathbb{N}_{0}\to\mathbb{Z} with ι0(0)=0Z\iota_{0}(0)=0_{\mathbb{Z}} and ι0(n)=ι(n)\iota_{0}(n)=\iota(n) for every n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}. It is injective; for all m,n∈N0m,n\in\mathbb{N}_{0}, ι0(m+n)=ι0(m)+ι0(n)\iota_{0}(m+n)=\iota_{0}(m)+\iota_{0}(n), ι0(mn)=ι0(m) ι0(n)\iota_{0}(mn)=\iota_{0}(m)\,\iota_{0}(n), and m≤nm\le n if and only if ι0(m)≤ι0(n)\iota_{0}(m)\le\iota_{0}(n); and its image is {x∈Z:0Z≤x}\{x\in\mathbb{Z}:0_{\mathbb{Z}}\le x\}.
