  • Order on the Natural Numbers

    definitiondef:order-natural-numbers-2026aNumber TheorySet Theory
    Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers, with addition ++ as in that definition, and let m,n∈Nm,n\in\mathbb{N}. We write m<nm<n if there exists k∈Nk\in\mathbb{N} with n=m+kn=m+k, and we write m≤nm\le n if m<nm<n or m=nm=n. We also write n>mn>m for m<nm<n, and n≥mn\ge m for…

  • Principle of Induction for the Natural Numbers

    axiomaxiom:induction-natural-numbers-2026aLogicSet Theory
    Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers, with successor map SS as in that definition. We take as an axiom the following principle of induction. If A⊆NA\subseteq\mathbb{N} satisfies 1. 1∈A1\in A, and 2. S(n)∈AS(n)\in A for every n∈An\in A, then A=NA=\mathbb{N}.

  • Let XX, YY, and ZZ be sets. 1. Every bijection u:X→Yu:X\to Y is injective; that is, u(x)=u(x′)u(x)=u(x') implies x=x′x=x' for all x,x′∈Xx,x'\in X. 2. If u:X→Yu:X\to Y and v:Y→Zv:Y\to Z are bijections, then the map w:X→Zw:X\to Z defined by w(x)=v(u(x))w(x)=v(u(x)) is a bijection. 3. If u:X→Yu:X\to Y is a bijection…

  • The left cosets of a subgroup H cover the group and are pairwise equal or disjoint, gH = kH exactly when g^{-1}k is in H, each coset is in bijection with H, and the cosets are the equivalence classes of the relation g^{-1}k in H.

  • Group Homomorphisms Preserve the Identity Element and Inverses

    theoremthm:homomorphism-identity-inverse-2026bAlgebra
    A group homomorphism sends the identity to the identity and inverses to inverses; composites of group homomorphisms are group homomorphisms, and the inverse of an isomorphism is an isomorphism.
