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:

    We love the indomitable bellicose patriotism that sets you apart; we love the national pride that guides your muscularly courageous race; we love the potent individualism that doesn’t prevent you from opening your arms to individualists of every land, whether libertarians or anarchists.
    Tommaso Marinetti (1876–1944)

    A friend should bear his friend’s infirmities,
    But Brutus makes mine greater than they are.
