delooping of the additive monoid of ordinal numbers
- notation:
- objects: a single object
- morphisms: ordinal numbers, with addition as composition
- Related categories:
Every monoid induces a one-object category . This also works when is large, in which case is not locally small. In this example, we apply this construction to the large monoid of ordinal numbers with respect to addition.
