The surreal numbers as a universal H-field
E-mail:

Submission date: 7 December 2015

Abstract: We show that the natural embedding of the differential field of transseries into Conway's field of surreal numbers with the Berarducci-Mantova derivation is an elementary embedding. We also prove that any Hardy field embeds into the field of surreals with the Berarducci-Mantova derivation.
