  Dedekind cut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example it is shown that the typical Dedekind cut in the real numbers is either a pair with A the interval (−∞, a), in which case B must be [ a, +∞); or a pair with A the interval (−∞, a ], in which case B must be (a, +∞).
Regard one Dedekind cut { A, B } as less than another Dedekind cut { C, D } if A is a proper subset of C, or, equivalently D is a proper subset of B.
The Dedekind cut is named after Richard Dedekind, who invented this construction in order to represent the real numbers as Dedekind cuts of the rational numbers.

Complete lattices must not be confused with complete partial orders (cpos), which constitute a strictly more general class of partially ordered sets.
Using the standard definition from universal algebra, a free complete lattice over a generating set S is a complete lattice L together with a function i:S→L, such that any function f from S to the underlying set of some complete lattice M can be factored uniquely through a morphism f° from L to M.
When this completion is applied to a poset that already is a complete lattice, then the result is a complete lattice of sets which is isomorphic to the original one.

More technically, the reals are complete (in the sense of metric spaces or uniform spaces, which is a different sense than the Dedekind completeness of the order in the previous section).
This sense of completeness is most closely related to the construction of the reals from Dedekind cuts, since that construction starts from an ordered field (the rationals) and then forms the Dedekind-completion of it in a standard way.
This sense of completeness is most closely related to the construction of the reals from surreal numbers, since that construction starts with a proper class that contains every ordered field (the surreals) and then selects from it the largest Archimedean subfield.

 Real number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since it can be proved that any uniformly complete Archimedean field must also be Dedekind complete (and vice versa, of course), this justifies using "the" in the phrase "the complete Archimedean field".
This sense of completeness is most closely related to the construction of the reals from Cauchy sequences (the construction carried out in full in this article), since it starts with an Archimedean field (the rationals) and forms the uniform completion of it in a standard way.
But the original use of the phrase "complete Archimedean field" was by David Hilbert, who meant still something else by it.

 Station Information - Dedekind cut
A Dedekind cut in a totally ordered set S is a partition of it, (A, B), such that A is closed downwards (meaning that whenever a is in A and x ≤ a, then x is in A as well), B is closed upwards.
If the linearly ordered set S does not enjoy the least-upper-bound property, then the set of Dedekind cuts is strictly bigger than S.
A construction very similar to Dedekind cuts is used for the construction of surreal numbers.

Richard Dedekind Julius Wilhelm Richard Dedekind (October 6, 1831 – February 12, 1916) was a German mathematician and Ernst Eduard Kummers closest follower in arithmetic.
In mathematics, the supremum of an ordered set S is the least element (not necessarily in S) which is greater than or equal to each element of S. Consequently, it is also referred to as the least upper bound.

The order is Dedekind complete[?], i.e., every non-empty subset S of R with an upper bound in R has a least upper bound (also called supremum) in R.
Construction by Dedekind cuts -- A Dedekind cut in an ordered field is a partition of it, (A, B), such that A is nonempty and closed downwards, B is nonempty and closed upwards, and A has no maximum.
Occasionally, formal elements +∞ and -∞ are added to the reals to form the extended real number line, a compact space which is not a field anymore but retains many of the properties of the real numbers.

Monk [1970] extended the notion of the completion of a Boolean algebra to Boolean algebras with operators.
Under the assumption that the operators of such an algebra $ \cal A $ are completely additive, he showed that the completion of $ \cal A $ always exists and is unique up to isomorphisms over $ \cal A $.
Moreover, strictly positive equations are preserved under completions a strictly positive equation that holds in $ \cal A $ must hold in the completion of $ \cal A $.

We construct a complete subfield F of P(R), isomorphic to P(R), of pairwise non-Borel-isomorphic rigid strong Blackwell subsets of R such that there are only 'very few' measurable functions between any two members of F.
Using combinatorial methods, we prove that in each of these lattices the partially ordered subset of all those elements which are finitely generated as normal subgroups is a lattice in which infima and suprema of subsets of cardinality $\leq\aleph$, always exist; two infinite distributive identities are also shown to hold.
We characterize the structure of the normal subgroup lattice of 2-transitive automorphism groups $A(\Omega)$ of infinite chains $(\Omega,\leq)$ by the structure of the Dedekind completion $(\bar\Omega,\leq)$ of the chain $(\Omega,\leq)$.

Two common methods to complete a Boolean algebra are the MacNeille completion and the canonical completion.
The MacNeille completion is the familiar generalization of Dedekind's completion by cuts.
The canonical completion is obtained by embedding a Boolean algebra into the power set of its Stone space.

An embedding $\varphi:(C,\leq)\longrightarrow (S,\leq)$ is said to be {\em complete} if it preserves all suprema and infima of subsets of $C$ which happen to exist in $(C,\leq)$.
The sets $S_1$ and $S_2$ lie in the Dedekind completion $\overline{S}_0$ of $S_0$, and we have $z \in \At(\overline{S}_0)$ and $z^3 \in \At(S_0)$.
By Theorem~\ref{main2}(d), the Dedekind completion of the latter contains elements of character $(\aleph_0,\aleph_1)$ but not elements of character $(\aleph_1,\aleph_0)$, so is not isomorphic to its reverse ordering.

We show that each o-primitive component of $ \G^: $ consists of those permutations of the closure of the corresponding G component which respect the orbits of the points which are "tied" to nonsingleton o-blocks.
Finally, we show that any two representations of the same lattice-ordered group which are complete and without dead segments give rise to the same $ \G^: $, and that in this case $ \G^: $ is the $\alpha$ -completion of G.

Abstract: A Tychono space X such that the maximum ring of quotients of C(X) is uniformly complete is called a uniform quotients space.
It is shown that this condition is equivalent to the Dedekind-MacNeille completion of C(X) being a ring of quotients of C(X), in the sense of Utumi.
