א Number - Aleph Number

Japanese: א数 - アレフすう
א Number - Aleph Number
Cardinality (cardinal number) of an infinite well-ordered set. For example, the numberable cardinal number α is the smallest aleph number, which can also be written as א 0 (א is a Hebrew letter pronounced aleph). Furthermore, all aleph numbers can be numbered in order with the ordinals 0 , 1, ..., ω , ω +1 , ..., such that א 0 〈א 1 〈 ...〈א ω 〈א ω+1 〈 .... When א α ≦א β , that is, when α≦β, then א α +א β =א α א β =א β . According to the well-ordered theorem, all infinite cardinal numbers are aleph numbers, and sums and products can be easily calculated using the above formula.

Japanese:
無限な整列集合の濃度(カージナル数)。たとえば可付番カージナル数αは最小なアレフ数で,これをא0とも書く(אはヘブライ字で,アレフと読む)。さらに,א0〈א1〈…〈אω〈אω+1〈…のように,すべてのアレフ数に順序数0,1,…,ω,ω+1,…で大小の順に番号をつけることができる。אα≦אβのとき,すなわちα≦βであるときには,אα+אβ=אαאβ=אβとなる。整列定理によれば無限カージナル数はすべてアレフ数で,上の公式によって和,積が簡単に計算される。
