Theorem canth

Description: No set A is equinumerous to its power set (Cantor's theorem), i.e. no function can map A it onto its power set. Compare Theorem 6B(b) of Enderton p. 132. For the equinumerosity version, see canth2 . Note that A must be a set: this theorem does not hold when A is too large to be a set; see ncanth for a counterexample. (Use nex if you want the form -. E. f f : A -onto-> ~P A .) (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994) (Proof shortened by Mario Carneiro, 7-Jun-2016)
