delooping of the additive monoid of ordinal numbers

  • notation: B(On,+)B(\mathbf{On},+)
  • objects: a single object
  • morphisms: ordinal numbers, with addition as composition
  • Related categories: BNB\mathbb{N}

Every monoid MM induces a one-object category BMBM. This also works when MM is large, in which case BMBM is not locally small. In this example, we apply this construction to the large monoid of ordinal numbers with respect to addition.

Special morphisms

  • Isomorphisms: only the ordinal 00
    The 00 is the only ordinal which has an additive inverse, since for α>0\alpha > 0 we have α+β>0\alpha + \beta > 0 for all β\beta.
  • Monomorphisms: every ordinal number
  • Epimorphisms: finite ordinal numbers
