I wonder if a better approach would be to instead define the enumerator functions for groups/rings/fields, prove them normal, and get this as a corollary. |
|
We could do that without much difficulty, but I don't think the enumerator functions would be generally useful, so I prefer not having them. |
|
I think the fact that these enumerator functions exist and are normal (i.e. there is a proper class of groups/rings/fields) is interesting enough on its own. If you don't wanna do it I can open that PR instead. |
|
Maybe it would be better to do all this in the generality of a closed unbounded set of ordinals? Or of any well-ordered set? |
|
The existing API on club sets is... not good, unfortunately. The I do still think it'd be nice to have these enumerator functions. There are at least a few semi-interesting things to be said about them. For instance: if |
We prove every nimber not equal to zero is between two groups, which have no other groups in between.
We prove every nimber greater than one is between two rings/fields, which have no other rings/fields in between.
