Definition df-scut 31899

Description: Define the cut operator on surreal numbers. This operator, which Conway takes as the primitive operator over surreals, picks the surreal lying between two sets of surreals of minimal birthday. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 7-Dec-2021.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
df-scut	⊢ |s = (𝑎 ∈ 𝒫 No , 𝑏 ∈ ( <<s “ {𝑎}) ↦ (℩𝑥 ∈ {𝑦 ∈ No ∣ (𝑎 <<s {𝑦} ∧ {𝑦} <<s 𝑏)} ( bday ‘𝑥) = ∩ ( bday “ {𝑦 ∈ No ∣ (𝑎 <<s {𝑦} ∧ {𝑦} <<s 𝑏)})))

Distinct variable group:   𝑎,𝑏,𝑥,𝑦
