Theorem cfom

Description: Value of the cofinality function at omega (the set of natural numbers). Exercise 4 of TakeutiZaring p. 102. (Contributed by NM, 23-Apr-2004) (Proof shortened by Mario Carneiro, 11-Jun-2015)

Ref Expression
Assertion cfom ( cf ‘ ω ) = ω

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 cfle ⊢ ( cf ‘ ω ) ⊆ ω
2 limom ⊢ Lim ω
3 omex ⊢ ω ∈ V
4 3 cflim2 ⊢ ( Lim ω ↔ Lim ( cf ‘ ω ) )
5 2 4 mpbi ⊢ Lim ( cf ‘ ω )
6 limomss ⊢ ( Lim ( cf ‘ ω ) → ω ⊆ ( cf ‘ ω ) )
7 5 6 ax-mp ⊢ ω ⊆ ( cf ‘ ω )
8 1 7 eqssi ⊢ ( cf ‘ ω ) = ω
