A notion of real numbers that is sequentially modulated Cauchy complete, because the modulated Cauchy real numbers are not sequentially modulated Cauchy complete in constructive mathematics
Note: everything in this particular section was copied from the Sandbox of the HoTT wiki and is likely to be original research.
The HoTT book real numbers is the (homotopy)-initial sequentially Cauchy complete Archimedean ordered pointed halving group. There should be a corresponding definition as a higher inductive-inductive type, but that still has to be worked out.
We define a sequentially Cauchy complete Archimedean ordered pointed halving group below as follows:
A pointed abelian group is a set with an element called one and a binary operation called subtraction such that
for all elements ,
for all elements ,
for all elements and ,
for all elements , , and ,
is defined as , is defined as , and is defined as . It is left to the reader as an exercise to prove from the given axioms and definitions that is an abelian group with an extra point .
A pointed halving group is a pointed abelian group G with a function called halving or dividing by two such that for all elements , .
A pointed halving group is a strictly ordered pointed abelian group if it comes with a type family such that
The homotopy initial strictly ordered pointed halving group is the dyadic rational numbers .
A strictly ordered pointed halving group is an Archimedean ordered pointed halving group if for all elements and , if , then there merely exists a dyadic rational number such that and .
Let
be the positive dyadic rational numbers.
A sequence in is a function .
A sequence is a Cauchy sequence if for all positive dyadic rational numbers , there merely exists a natural number such that for all natural numbers and such that and , or .
An element is said to be a limit of the sequence if for all positive dyadic rational numbers , there merely exists a natural number such that for all natural numbers such that , or
is sequentially Cauchy complete if every Cauchy sequence in merely has a limit.
Let be an Archimedean field. is sequentially modulated Cauchy complete if every Cauchy sequence in with a modulus of convergence converges. The set of HoTT book real numbers is the initial object in the category of sequentially modulated Cauchy complete Archimedean fields.
The set of HoTT book real numbers is the initial object in the category of Cauchy structures and Cauchy structure homomorphisms.
Let be the rational numbers and let
be the positive rational numbers. The HoTT book real numbers are inductively generated by the following:
a function
a function , where is the type of Cauchy approximations in .
a dependent family of terms
and the premetric type family is simultaneously inductively generated by the following:
a dependent family of terms
a dependent family of terms
a dependent family of terms
a dependent family of terms
a dependent family of terms
The analytic functions, such as the exponential function, the sine function, and the cosine function are well defined in the HoTT book real numbers, since all modulated Cauchy sequences converge in the HoTT book real numbers.
