Cardinality of The Continuum - Sets With Greater Cardinality

Sets With Greater Cardinality

Sets with cardinality greater than include:

  • the set of all subsets of (i.e., power set )
  • the set 2R of indicator functions defined on subsets of the reals (the set is isomorphic to – the indicator function chooses elements of each subset to include)
  • the set of all functions from to
  • the Lebesgue σ-algebra of, i.e., the set of all Lebesgue measurable sets in .
  • the Stone–Čech compactifications of, and
  • the set of all automorphisms of the field of complex numbers.

They all have cardinality (Beth two).

Famous quotes containing the words sets and/or greater:

    “To the extent to which genius can be conjoined with a merely good human being, Haydn possessed genius. He never exceeds the limits that morality sets for the intellect; he only composes music which has “no past.””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Nowhere is one more alone than in Paris ... and yet surrounded by crowds. Nowhere is one more likely to incur greater ridicule. And no visit is more essential.”
    —Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
