The Continuum is Countable: Infinity is Unique
نویسنده
چکیده
Since the theory developed by Georg Cantor, mathematicians have taken a sharp interest in the sizes of infinite sets. We know that the set of integers is infinitely countable and that its cardinality is א0. Cantor proved in 1891 with the diagonal argument that the set of real numbers is uncountable and that there cannot be any bijection between integers and real numbers. Cantor states in particular the Continuum Hypothesis. In this paper, I show that the cardinality of the set of real numbers is the same as the set of integers. I show also that there is only one dimension for infinite sets, א.

Pythagorean triples, rational angles, and space-filling simplices
The ancient Greeks posed and solved the problem of finding all right triangles with rational sidelengths. There are 4 natural nonEuclidean generalizations of this problem. We solve them all. The result is that the only rational-sided nonEuclidean triangle with one right angle is the isoceles spherical triangle with legs of length 45 and hypotenuse 60. We next ask which simplices have rational d...
متن کاملω-NARROWNESS AND RESOLVABILITY OF TOPOLOGICAL GENERALIZED GROUPS
Abstract. A topological group H is called ω -narrow if for every neighbourhood V of it’s identity element there exists a countable set A such that V A = H = AV. A semigroup G is called a generalized group if for any x ∈ G there exists a unique element e(x) ∈ G such that xe(x) = e(x)x = x and for every x ∈ G there exists x − 1 ∈ G such that x − 1x = xx − 1 = e(x). Also le...
متن کاملCOUNTABLE COMPACTNESS AND THE LINDEL¨OF PROPERTY OF L-FUZZY SETS
In this paper, countable compactness and the Lindel¨of propertyare defined for L-fuzzy sets, where L is a complete de Morgan algebra. Theydon’t rely on the structure of the basis lattice L and no distributivity is requiredin L. A fuzzy compact L-set is countably compact and has the Lindel¨ofproperty. An L-set having the Lindel¨of property is countably compact if andonly if it is fuzzy compact. ...
متن کاملA classification of orbits admitting a unique invariant measure
We consider the space of countable structures with fixed underlying set in a given countable language. We show that the number of ergodic probability measures on this space that are S∞-invariant and concentrated on a single isomorphism class must be zero, or one, or continuum. Further, such an isomorphism class admits a unique S∞-invariant probability measure precisely when the structure is hig...
متن کاملOne-point extensions of locally compact paracompact spaces
A space $Y$ is called an {em extension} of a space $X$, if $Y$ contains $X$ as a dense subspace. Two extensions of $X$ are said to be {em equivalent}, if there is a homeomorphism between them which fixes $X$ point-wise. For two (equivalence classes of) extensions $Y$ and $Y'$ of $X$ let $Yleq Y'$, if there is a continuous function of $Y'$ into $Y$ which fixes $X$ point-wise. An extension $Y$ ...
