Help understanding construction of the least uncountable ordinal

66 Views Asked by At

In my notes the construction of the least ordinal follows from taking the supremum of the image of the set $$ R=\{ A\in \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N}\times\mathbb{N}) : A\text{ is a well-ordering of a subset of }\mathbb{N}\},$$ under the order type function. I.e. the supremum of the set of all countable ordinals.

I'm having trouble understanding the notation in the definition of $R$. The rest of the proof makes sense but I'm not sure how $A\in \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N}\times\mathbb{N})$ can be a well-ordering of a subset of $\mathbb{N}$. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is a well-ordering of a subset of $\Bbb N$? It's a set of ordered pairs of natural numbers. In other words, it is an element of $\mathcal P(\Bbb{N\times N})$.

So, $\{(0,1),(0,2),(2,1)\}$ is a well-ordering of $\{0,1,2\}$ that orders the set as $0 \prec 2 \prec 1$. And $\{(n,m)\mid n<m\text{ and both are even, or } m=1\text{ and }n\text{ is even}\}$ is a well-ordering of $\{2k\mid k\in\Bbb N\}\cup\{1\}$.
