Eudoxus real numbers

The rational numbers are an ordered subfield of every ordered field, and are initial in the category of ordered fields, and so they can be characterised as the initial ordered subfield of the Eudoxus real …

The field structure on the locale of real numbers

It is well known how to derive the field operations from the construction of the real numbers as the Dedekind completion of the rational numbers and as the Cauchy completion of the rational numbers; s …

Sequential colimit of iterated quotients of Cauchy sequences

If $F$ is already Cauchy complete, then the field homomorphism is a field isomorphism, but this usually cannot be proven for arbitrary Archimedean ordered fields $F$ in constructive mathematics. … implies that one could repeatedly construct the quotient set of Cauchy sequences starting from the rational numbers, yielding a sequence of unique injective field homomorphisms between Archimedean ordered fields
