Constructing ℤ, ℚ and ℝ

Building the number systems from the natural numbers: ℤ from pairs of naturals, ℚ from pairs of integers, and ℝ from Dedekind cuts or Cauchy sequences, together with the uniqueness of the complete ordered field.

आप सीखेंगे

  • Construct ℤ as equivalence classes of pairs of natural numbers and check that the operations are well defined.
  • Construct ℚ as the field of fractions of ℤ.
  • Construct ℝ by Dedekind cuts or Cauchy sequences and prove the least-upper-bound property.

परिभाषा

  • On ℕ × ℕ, (a, b) ~ (c, d) if and only if a + d = b + c; the class of (a, b) represents a − b.
  • A Dedekind cut is a non-empty proper subset of ℚ that is closed downwards and has no greatest element.
  • A complete ordered field is an ordered field in which every non-empty subset that is bounded above has a supremum.

प्रमेय

  • Operations on equivalence classes are well defined: they do not depend on the chosen representatives.
  • Any two complete ordered fields are isomorphic by a unique order-preserving field isomorphism.
  • The Dedekind and Cauchy constructions produce isomorphic ordered fields.

आम भ्रांतियाँ

  • Thinking well-definedness is automatic when operations are defined on equivalence classes.
  • Reading the constructions as saying what numbers 'really are', rather than as showing that structures with the required properties exist.

वैकल्पिक खोजें

  • Real analysis Completeness of ℝ, established here by construction, is the property on which rigorous analysis rests.
  • Universal properties The field of fractions has a universal property: every injective ring homomorphism from an integral domain into a field extends uniquely to its field of fractions.
