The first task was successfully completed in late 2018, while the second, which is the future task, commenced in the financial year 2019. The RAG-Stiftung covers the costs of the perpetual obligations of the post-mining era. In line with its articles of association, the foundation also provides funding for a number of other targeted projects in order to help create a liveable environment for tomorrow today.

  • Surreal Numbers, Surreal Analysis, Hahn Fields and Derivations
    Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 60/2016 DOI: 10.4171/OWR/2016/60 Mini-Workshop: Surreal Numbers, Surreal Analysis, Hahn Fields and Derivations Organised by Alessandro Berarducci, Pisa Philip Ehrlich, Athens Salma Kuhlmann, Konstanz 18 December – 23 December 2016 Abstract. New striking analogies between H. Hahn’s fields of generalised series with real coefficients, G. H. Hardy’s field of germs of real valued func- tions, and J. H. Conway’s field No of surreal numbers, have been lately discovered and exploited. The aim of the workshop was to bring quickly to- gether experts and young researchers, to articulate and investigate current key questions and conjectures regarding these fields, and to explore emerging applications of this recent discovery. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010): 03C64, 03E10, 03H05, 06A05, 12J10, 12J15, 12L12, 13J05, 13J30, 13N15. Introduction by the Organisers The field No of surreal numbers is a real closed field which simultaneously contains the real numbers and the ordinal numbers. Since its discovery, it has ever been the object of intense research. It was established by various authors (e.g. Alling, Costin, v. d. Dries, Ehrlich, Gonshor, Kruskal, to cite a few) that No is a universal domain for real algebra (in the sense that every real closed field whose domain is a set can be embedded in No), that it admits an exponential function, and an interpretation of the restricted real analytic functions, making it into a model of the elementary theory of the field of real numbers endowed with the exponential function and all the restricted real analytic functions. In the last decade, it has been conjectured that No is a universal domain for real differential algebra.
