Equinumerosity

We say set A is equinumerous to set B, written (A \approx B) if and only if there exists a set/functions#Injections function from A set/functions#Surjections B.

No set is equinumerous to its set/index#Power Set Axiom. This is typically shown using a diagonalization argument.

Equivalence Concept

For any sets A, B, and C:

  • A \approx A;
  • if A \approx B, then B \approx A;
  • if A \approx B and B \approx C, then A \approx C.

Notice though that \{ \langle A, B \rangle \mid A \approx B \} is not an equivalence relation since the equivalence concept of equinumerosity concerns all sets.

%%ANKI Basic Concisely state the equivalence concept of equinumerosity in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. Back: For all sets A, B, and C:

  • A \approx A;
  • A \approx B \Rightarrow B \approx A;
