The present article surveys surreal numbers with an informal approach, from their very first definition to their structure of universal real closed analytic and exponential field. Then we proceed to give an overview of the recent achievements on equipping them with a derivation, which is done by proving that surreal numbers can be seen as transseries and by finding the `simplest structure of H-field, the abstract version of a Hardy field. All the latter notions and their context are also addressed, as well as the universality of the resulting structure for surreal numbers.
Several authors have conjectured that Conways field of surreal numbers, equipped with the exponential function of Kruskal and Gonshor, can be described as a field of transseries and admits a compatible differential structure of Hardy-type. In this pa
We show that Ecalles transseries and their variants (LE and EL-series) can be interpreted as functions from positive infinite surreal numbers to surreal numbers. The same holds for a much larger class of formal series, here called omega-series. Omega
We continue the study of a class of topological $mathcal{L}$-fields endowed with a generic derivation $delta$, focussing on describing definable groups. We show that one can associate to an $mathcal{L}_{delta}$ definable group a type $mathcal{L}$-def
This paper grew out of the observation that the possibilities of proof by induction and definition by recursion are often confused. The paper reviews the distinctions. The von Neumann construction of the ordinal numbers includes a construction of nat
We characterize thorn-independence in a variety of structures, focusing on the field of real numbers expanded by predicate defining a dense multiplicative subgroup, G, satisfying the Mann property and whose pth powers are of finite index in G. We als
