In set theory
A LetCauchy structure is be a the premetric rational space numbers and let with a function and a function such that
be the set of positive rational numbers.
A Cauchy structure is a premetric space with a function and a function , where is the set of Cauchy approximations in , such that
For two Cauchy structures and , a Cauchy structure homomorphism is a function such that
For two Cauchy structures and , a Cauchy structure homomorphism is a function such that
The category of Cauchy structures is a category whose objects are Cauchy structures and whose morphisms , for objects and , are Cauchy structure homomorphisms. The initial object in the category of Cauchy structures is the HoTT book real numbers.
