  2. Von Neumann universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_universe

    The set V 5 contains 2 16 = 65536 elements; the set V 6 contains 2 65536 elements, which very substantially exceeds the number of atoms in the known universe; and for any natural n, the set V n+1 contains 2 ⇈ n elements using Knuth's up-arrow notation. So the finite stages of the cumulative hierarchy cannot be written down explicitly after ...

  3. Universe (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe_(mathematics)

    [3] [4] [5] A Russell-style universe is a type whose terms are types. [3] A Tarski-style universe is a type together with an interpretation operation allowing us to regard its terms as types. [3] For example: [6] The openendedness of Martin-Löf type theory is particularly manifest in the introduction of so-called universes. Type universes ...

  4. Mathematical universe hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_universe...

    Tegmark's MUH is the hypothesis that our external physical reality is a mathematical structure. [3] That is, the physical universe is not merely described by mathematics, but is mathematics — specifically, a mathematical structure. Mathematical existence equals physical existence, and all structures that exist mathematically exist physically ...

  5. Hierarchy (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_(mathematics)

    The term hierarchy is used to stress a hierarchical relation among the elements. Sometimes, a set comes equipped with a natural hierarchical structure. For example, the set of natural numbers N is equipped with a natural pre-order structure, where n ≤ n ′ {\displaystyle n\leq n'} whenever we can find some other number m {\displaystyle m} so ...

  6. Cumulative hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_hierarchy

    The sets of the constructible universe form a cumulative hierarchy. The Boolean-valued models constructed by forcing are built using a cumulative hierarchy. The well founded sets in a model of set theory (possibly not satisfying the axiom of foundation ) form a cumulative hierarchy whose union satisfies the axiom of foundation.

  7. Generator (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(mathematics)

    In mathematics and physics, the term generator or generating set may refer to any of a number of related concepts. The underlying concept in each case is that of a smaller set of objects, together with a set of operations that can be applied to it, that result in the creation of a larger collection of objects, called the generated set .

    are compatible with this structure, that is, they are continuous, smooth or regular (in the sense of algebraic geometry) maps, then G is a topological group, a Lie group, or an algebraic group. [2] The presence of extra structure relates these types of groups with other mathematical disciplines and means that more tools are available in their ...

  9. Standard Model - Wikipedia

    Y W is the weak hypercharge – the generator of the U(1) group, W → μ is the 3-component SU(2) gauge field, L are the Pauli matrices – infinitesimal generators of the SU(2) group – with subscript L to indicate that they only act on left-chiral fermions, g' and g are the U(1) and SU(2) coupling constants respectively,
