Dec 6, 2014 at 19:22 | comment | added | Sam Roberts | @GérardLang That's right; we can also recursively define an ordinal sequence of functions -- so that $G(\alpha)$ is a one-one function from $V_\alpha$ into $A$, $G(\alpha+1)$ extends $G(\alpha)$ to $V_{\alpha+1}$ uniquely in the way I suggest, and $G(\lambda) = \bigcup_{\alpha<\lambda} G(\alpha)$ for $\lambda$ a limit. A simple induction then shows that each $G(\alpha)$ is one-one, and thus that $\bigcup_{\alpha\in On} G(\alpha)$ is a one-one function from $V$ into $A$ as required. | |

Dec 6, 2014 at 15:58 | comment | added | Gérard Lang | oops. I continue. We have that y∈x implies y∈V(α), so that G[x]={G(y)/y∈x} is a well-defined set with G[x]⊆V(α)⊆P(A). | |
Dec 6, 2014 at 15:51 | comment | added | Gérard Lang | Dear Sam, let me thank you very much, first to have remarked that Asaf's answer was not sufficient and moreover to give a definite answer to my question. As I understand it, suppose G(α) is a function from V(α) into A and let X∈ V(α+1)/V(α). | |
