Generically, an alternativesettheory is an alternative mathematical approach to the concept of Set mathematics set . It is a proposed alternative to the axiomatic settheory standard settheory . Some of the alternativeset theories are the theory of semiset s the settheory New Foundations Positive settheory Internal settheory Specifically, AlternativeSetTheory or AST refers to a particular settheory developed in the 1970s and 1980s by Petr Vop nka and his students. It builds on some ideas of the theory of semiset s, but also introduces more radical changes for example, all sets are formally finite set finite , which means that sets in AST satisfy the law of mathematical induction for set Formula mathematical logic formulas more precisely the part of AST that consists of axioms related to sets only is equivalent to the Zermelo Fraenkel settheory Zermelo Fraenkel or ZF settheory, in which the axiom of infinity is replaced by its negation . However, some of these sets contain subclasses that are not sets, which makes them different from Georg Cantor Cantor ZF finite sets and they are called infinite in AST.

For other uses of the term Small set disambiguation In category theory , a small set is one in a fixed universe mathematics universe of Set mathematics sets as the word universe is used in mathematics in general . Thus, the category of small sets is the Category theory category of all sets one cares to consider. This is used when one does not wish to bother with Axiomatic settheoryset theoretic concerns of what is and what is not considered a set, which concerns would arise if one tried to speak of the category of all sets . In this context, a large set is any set that is not small. A small set is not to be confused with a small category, which is a category whose collection of arrows and therefore of objects forms a set. For more on small categories, see Category theory .

See also naive settheory for the mathematical topic. Naive SetTheory is a mathematics textbook by Paul Halmos originally published in 1960. This book is an undergraduate introduction to not very naive settheory . It is still considered by many to be the best introduction to settheory for beginners. While the title states that it is naive, which is usually taken to mean without axiom s, the book does introduce all the axioms of Zermelo Fraenkel settheory and gives correct and rigorous definitions for basic objects. Where it differs from a true axiomatic settheory book is its character there are no long winded discussions of axiomatic minutiae, and there is next to nothing about advanced topics like large cardinal s. Instead, it tries to be intelligible to someone who has never thought about settheory before. See also List of publications in mathematics References Paul Halmos, Naive settheory . Princeton, NJ D.

In settheory , pronounced like the letter theta is the least nonzero ordinal number ordinal such that there is no surjection from the reals onto . If the axiom of choice AC holds or even if the reals can be wellordered then is simply math 2 aleph 0 math , the cardinal successor of the cardinality of the continuum . However, is often studied in contexts where the axiom of choice fails, such as model theory models of the axiom of determinacy . is also the supremum of the lengths of all prewellordering s of the reals. Proof of existence It may not be obvious that it can be proved, without using AC, that there even exists a nonzero ordinal onto which there is no surjection from the reals if there is such an ordinal, then there must be a least one because the ordinals are wellordered . However, suppose there were no such ordinal. Then to every ordinal we could associate the set of all prewellorderings of the reals having length . This would give an injective function injection from the class settheory class of all ordinals into the set of all sets of orderings on the reals which can to be seen to be a set via repeated application of the axiom of power set powerset axiom . Now the axiom of replacement shows that the class of all ordinals is in fact a set. But that is impossible, by the Burali Forti paradox .

For instance, the class of all ordinal number s, and the class of all sets, are proper classes in many formal systems. Outside settheory, the word class is sometimes used synonymously with set .

Diatonic settheory is a subdivision or application of musical settheory which applies the techniques and musical analysis insights of discrete mathematics to properties of the diatonic collection such as maximal evenness , Myhill s property , well formed generated collection well formedness , the deep scale property , cardinality equals variety , and structure implies multiplicity . The name is something of a misnomer as the concepts involved usually apply much more generally, to any periodically repeating scale. Music theorists working in diatonic settheory include Eytan Agmon , Gerald J. Balzano , Norman Carey , David Clampitt , John Clough music theorist John Clough , Jay Rahn , and mathematician Jack Douthett .

Constructive settheory is an approach to constructivism mathematics mathematical constructivism following the program of axiomatic settheory . That is, it uses the usual first order logic first order language of classical settheory, and although of course the logic is constructive logic constructive , there is no explicit use of constructive type theory constructive types .

In settheory, a minimal model is a minimal standard model settheory standard model of ZFC . Minimal models were introduced by harvs last Shepherdson year 1951 year2 1952 year3 1953 . The existence of a minimal model cannot be proved in ZFC , even assuming that ZFC is consistent, but follows from the existence of a standard model as follows. If there is a set W in V which is a inner model standard model of ZF, and the ordinal is the set of ordinals which occur in W, then L sub sub is the class of Constructible universe constructible set s of W. If there is a set which is a standard model of ZF, then the smallest such set is such a L sub sub . This set is called the minimal model of ZFC, and also satisfies the axiom of constructibility V L. The downward L wenheim Skolem theorem implies that the minimal model if it exists as a set is a countable set. More precisely, every element s of the minimal model can be named in other words there is a first order sentence &phi x such that s is the unique element of the minimal model for which &phi s is true. Of course, any consistent theory must have a model, so even within the minimal model of settheory there are sets which are models of ZF assuming ZF is consistent . However, those set models are non standard. In particular, they do not use the normal element relation and they are not well founded. If there is no standard model then the minimal model cannot exist as a set. However in this case the class of all constructible sets plays the same role as the minimal model and has similar properties though it is now a proper class rather than a countable set .
