Generically, an alternative settheory 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 alternative set theories are the theory of semiset s the settheory New Foundations Positive settheory Internal settheory Specifically, Alternative SetTheory 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 Fraenkelsettheory 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 Fraenkelsettheory 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.

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 .

In settheory , a mouse is a small Model theory model of a fragment of Zermelo Fraenkelsettheory with desirable properties. The exact definition depends on the context. In most cases, there is a technical definition of premouse and an added condition of iterability referring to the existence of wellfounded iterated ultraproduct ultrapower s a mouse is then an iterable premouse. The notion of mouse generalizes the concept of a level of G del s constructible universe constructible hierarchy while being able to incorporate large cardinal s. Mice are important ingredients of the construction of Core Model core model s. The concept was isolated by Ronald Jensen in the 1970s and has been used since then in core model constructions of many authors. settheory stub Category Inner model theory ... more details
Fraenkelsettheory ZF settheory , the notion of class is informal, whereas other set theories, such as Von Neumann Bernays G del settheory NBG settheory , axiomatize the notion of class , e.g., as entities that are not members of another entity. Every set is a class, no matter which foundation is chosen. A class that is not a set informally in Zermelo Fraenkel is called a proper class , and a class that is a set is sometimes called a small class . 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 . This usage dates from a historical period where classes and sets were not distinguished as they are in modern set theoretic terminology.

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 .

version of naive settheory can be interpreted, and it is this formal theory which Bertrand Russell actually addressed when he presented his paradox.

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 .

von Neumann Bernays G del settheory is a conservative extension of Zermelo Fraenkelsettheory ZFC, the canonical settheory in the sense that a statement in the language of ZFC is provable in NBG if and only if it is provable in ZFC, Morse Kelley settheory is a proper extension of ZFC. Unlike von Neumann Bernays G del settheory, where the axiom schema of Class Comprehension can be replaced with finitely many of its instances, Morse Kelley settheory cannot be finitely axiomatized.
