Algebraic properties of external numbers

Abstract: Neutrices and external numbers were proposed as models of orders of magnitude within nonstandard analysis. We show that the external numbers form a commutative regular semigroup for addition and that the external numbers which are not neutrices form a commutative regular semigroup for multiplication. The validity of the distributive law is restricted, but it can be fully characterized.

“…As such the individualized neutral elements are unique. The proof is similar to the proof of the uniqueness of neutral elements in groups (see [10]). Often it is convenient to use the functional notation e(x) to indicate the individualized neutral element of the element x.…”

“…Axioms 2.1-2.29, extend the axioms originally presented in [10] and were shown to be consistent in [11] by the construction of a direct model in the language of ZF C. This was given in the form of a set of cosets of a non-Archimedean field. Allowing for definable classes, it was shown in [10] that the external numbers of [19] and [20] satisfy the axioms for addition and for multiplication, together with a modified form of the distributivity axiom; this modified form was shown to be equivalent to Axiom 2.22 in [12]. The remaining algebraic axioms deal with multiplication of magnitudes, and are in fact taken from calculation rules of the external numbers observed in [19] and [20].…”
