For questions about the surreal numbers, which are a real-closed ordered proper-class-sized field that contains both the real numbers and the ordinal numbers. Thus they contain both infinite numbers (including the ordinals, but also infinite numbers like ω-1 and sqrt(ω)) and infinitesimal numbers (like 1/ω). They can also be identified with a subclass of two-player partisan games.

Surreal number: trying to construct complete ordered fields
Let $R$ be a subring of $\mathbf{No}$, the set of surreal number. We try to construct $\tilde{R}$, the Cauchy completion of $R$, just like the ordinary Cauchy completion for metric space.
In the fol …

Are there any interesting surreal constants?
In $\mathbf R$, we have all sorts of fascinating constant, like $e$, $\pi$, $\gamma$, ... For ordinal numbers, we have $\omega$, $\epsilon_0$, $\omega_1^{CK}$, $\omega_1$, ... Have we discovered any i …

Going beyond the surreal numbers
Denote the class of surreal numbers No. We can create new "number", like the gap $\infty=\{\infty^L|\infty^R\}$, defined by $\infty^L=\{x:\exists n\in\mathbb N,x<n\}$ and $\infty^R=\{x:\forall n\in\ma …

The surreal version of $e$
For a sequence $(x_{\alpha})$ of surreal numbers indexed by the set of all ordinal numbers, we say that $\lim x_{\alpha}=l$ ($l$ is a surreal number) if for each surreal $\epsilon>0$, there exists an …
