Definition df-oexpi 6588

Description: Define the ordinal exponentiation operation.

This definition is similar to a conventional definition of exponentiation except that it defines ∅ ↑_o 𝐴 to be 1_o for all 𝐴 ∈ On, in order to avoid having different cases for whether the base is ∅ or not.

We do not yet have an extensive development of ordinal exponentiation. For background on ordinal exponentiation without excluded middle, see Tom de Jong, Nicolai Kraus, Fredrik Nordvall Forsberg, and Chuangjie Xu (2025), "Ordinal Exponentiation in Homotopy Type Theory", arXiv:2501.14542 , https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.14542 which is formalized in the TypeTopology proof library at https://ordinal-exponentiation-hott.github.io/.
