Large cardinal

Set theory concept

Large cardinal

In the mathematical field of set theory, a large cardinal property is a certain kind of property of transfinite cardinal numbers. Cardinals with such properties are, as the name suggests, generally very large, such that the cardinal is inaccesible through standard set theory functions, power sets or successors of smaller cardinals. (for example, bigger than the least α such that α = ωα).
