Cardinal arithmetic #

Arithmetic operations on cardinals are defined in SetTheory/Cardinal/Basic.lean. However, proving the important theorem c * c = c for infinite cardinals and its corollaries requires the use of ordinal numbers. This is done within this file.

cardinal arithmetic (for infinite cardinals)

Properties of mul #

If α is an infinite type, then α × α and α have the same cardinality.

If α and β are infinite types, then the cardinality of α × β is the maximum of the cardinalities of α and β.
