| 11. | Every other ordered field can be embedded in the surreals.
|
| 12. | Every ordered field can be embedded into the surreal numbers.
|
| 13. | Every Squares are necessarily non-negative in an ordered field.
|
| 14. | Taking rational functions with rational instead of real coefficients produces a countable non-Archimedean ordered field.
|
| 15. | The surreal numbers form a set, but otherwise obey the axioms of an ordered field.
|
| 16. | We've gotten pretty close to an ordered field by now, but we're not quite there.
|
| 17. | Formally, we say that the complex numbers cannot have the structure of an ordered field.
|
| 18. | More generally, the substructures of an ordered field ( or just a group are its subgroups.
|
| 19. | This provides a connection between surreal numbers and more conventional mathematical approaches to ordered field theory.
|
| 20. | Every ordered field is a formally real field.
