I'm writing some notes on set theory, Aleph Null, etc., and was wondering if there's a Notation or Symbol that abbreviates this (inaccessible/strong/uncountable etc. cardinals). I'm not sure if I've seen notation before but it seems like symbols resembling Theta and phi have been used.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I have been to that wiki article and could not find where it labeled itself symbolically.

Did find this: under this other wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_Infinite
"The Absolute Infinite (symbol: Ω) is an extension of the idea of infinity proposed by mathematician Georg Cantor.

It can be thought as a number which is bigger than any conceivable or inconceivable quantity, either finite or transfinite.
"
However I don't think Cantor or infinite series mathematicians believe the omega from absolute infinite is the same as an uncountable/strong inaccessible cardinal.
Correct me if I am mistaken?
 
if it didn't sound weird, how could it possibly be inconceivable? There's a philosophy term for this stuff "Noumenal" stuff we aren't supposed to make sense of.
