We work in weakly predicatively constructive mathematics, in that we accept function sets but do not accept power sets or excluded middle. More specifically, we shall assume a sequential universe hier …

In classical mathematics, there exists only one Cauchy complete Archimedean ordered field, the Dedekind complete Archimedean ordered field. However, in constructive mathematics, there are multiple Cau …

In the article "The Eudoxus Real Numbers", R.D. Arthan proved from the definition of the Eudoxus real numbers in terms of almost linear homomorphisms that the Eudoxus real numbers form an ordered fiel …

In constructive mathematics, let us define an ordered (Heyting) field $F$ to be a commutative ring with a binary relation $<$ which is irreflexive, where for all $x$, $\neg (x < x)$ asymmetric, where …

In constructive mathematics, it is consistent that every function $\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ on the Dedekind real numbers is continuous. However, it is not consistent that every function $\mathbb{R} …

In constructive mathematics, a proposition $P$ is decidable if $P \vee \neg P$, and a proposition is stable if $\neg \neg P \implies P$. We have the following principles of omniscience for the natural …

In Mike Shulman's article Brouwer’s fixed-point theorem in real-cohesive homotopy type theory, the fundamental axiom adopted for his real-cohesive homotopy type theory (axiom $\mathbb{R}\flat$), which …

We work in cohesive homotopy type theory with propositional resizing, so that there is only one type of Dedekind real numbers $\mathbb{R}$ up to equivalence, and Mike Shulman's axiom $\mathbb{R}\flat$ …

David Roberts wrote in the comment section of the blog post "Convergence of an infinite sum in the rationals" the following paragraph: Someone mentioned (I think on Twitter) that the Taylor series of …

The classical Riemann series theorem states that given a sequence $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ of real numbers such that the series $\sum_{n = 0}^\infty a_n$ is conditionally convergent, for all real nu …

In constructive mathematics without any choice at all, it is well known that the fundamental theorem of algebra cannot be proven for the Dedekind real numbers. On the other hand, Wim Ruitenberg showed …

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 …

$\mathrm{QuotCauchy}$ defined above is an endofunctor on the category of Archimedean ordered fields. Thus, the question above is tantamount to asking whether the sequential limit $\mathrm{QuotCauchy}^ …

We work in constructive mathematics. The sets and functions in the foundations form a Grothendieck topos, which means that all colimits exist, and in particular, that all sequential colimits exist. Gi …
