Isomorphism of $mathbb R$ and $mathbb{R} times mathbb R$












1














How to prove that the set $mathbb R times mathbb R$ with lexicographic order is not isomorphic with $mathbb R$ with linear order?
I know I have to show that there is no such functions $f:mathbb R rightarrowmathbb R times mathbb R$ which is an isomorphism but I dont't know how to write this proof.

    Perhaps show that there is a nonempty bounded subset of $mathbb R times mathbb R$ with no least upper bound.

Two isomorphic ordered sets share all properties that can be expressed in the language of ordered sets.



For instance, if $fcolon Xto Y$ is an order isomorphism and $A$ is a subset of $X$, then $A$ has a least upper bound if and only if $f(A)$ has a least upper bound.



Also, $A$ is upper bounded if and only if $f(A)$ is upper bounded.



Exercise: prove the two statements above.



Now, can you find a subset $A$ of $mathbb{R}timesmathbb{R}$ that's upper bounded but has no least upper bound? If $fcolonmathbb{R}timesmathbb{R}tomathbb{R}$ is an isomorphism, can you find a contradiction?

  • Is it good example to take a subset $A=lbrace{langle a,branglein mathbb{R}timesmathbb{R} | a=0, binmathbb{R} rbrace}$ and then it has for example upper bound equal to $langle1,0rangle$ but has no least upper bound (because we can always find a better upper bound)

Two isomorphic ordered sets share all properties that can be expressed in the language of ordered sets.



For instance, if $fcolon Xto Y$ is an order isomorphism and $A$ is a subset of $X$, then $A$ has a least upper bound if and only if $f(A)$ has a least upper bound.



Also, $A$ is upper bounded if and only if $f(A)$ is upper bounded.



Exercise: prove the two statements above.



Now, can you find a subset $A$ of $mathbb{R}timesmathbb{R}$ that's upper bounded but has no least upper bound? If $fcolonmathbb{R}timesmathbb{R}tomathbb{R}$ is an isomorphism, can you find a contradiction?
