Sign sequences of log-atomic numbers

Vincent Bagayoko

Abstract

Log-atomic numbers are surreal numbers whose iterated logarithms are monomials, and consequently have a trivial expansion as transseries. Presenting surreal numbers as sign sequences, we give the sign sequence formula for log-atomic numbers. To that efect, we relate log-atomic numbers to fixed-points of certain surreal functions.

Key Result

Lemma 1.3

BvdH19 THe laws $\dotplus$ and $\mathbin{\dot{\times}}$ are associative with identities $0$ and $1$ respectively, and $\mathbin{\dot{\times}}$ distribues with $\dotplus$ on the left. Moreover, for $x, y \in \mathbf{No}$ where $y$ is a limit, we have
