| Abstract | We report on a formalization of ordinals and cardinals in Isabelle/HOL. A main challenge we faced was the inability of higher-order logic to represent ordinals canonically, as transitive sets (as done in set theory). We resolved this into a “decentralized” representation identifying ordinals with well-orders, with all concepts and results proved to be invariant under order isomorphism. We also discuss several applications of this general theory in formal developments. |
