Support order type and degree of a Hahn series #
LM24 orders the support of a generalized power series by increasing exponent. Accordingly,
HahnSeries.supportOrderType is the ordinal type of the strict order < on the support; no order
reversal occurs in this module. For a linearly ordered exponent type, Mathlib's IsPWO support
condition is equivalent to the well-foundedness needed for this ordinal type.
If the exponent type belongs to Type u, the order type and degree belong to Ordinal.{u} and
WithBot NatOrdinal.{u}, independently of the universe of the coefficients. The degree uses
LM24's convention: a nonzero series has the leading Cantor exponent of its support order type,
whereas the zero series has degree ⊥.
These definitions formalize LM24, Sections 1.2, 1.5, 2.2, and 3.1. Multiplicativity is a later theorem and is not built into the definitions.
The support-decomposition theorems use the strict lower-to-upper relation
HahnSeries.SupportBelow and the generic support lemmas in
ConwayRefinement.HahnSeries.SeparatedSupport.
The ordinary ordinal order type of a Hahn series support, ordered by increasing exponent.

Support order type is the generic order type of the partially well-ordered support.
Compute supportOrderType from an order isomorphism out of the support.
Compute supportOrderType from a relation isomorphism to an arbitrary well-order.
A nonzero single-term Hahn series has ordinary support order type one.
Inclusion of supports cannot decrease their ordinary ordinal order type.
A Hahn series has finite support exactly when its support order type is below ω.
The leading Cantor exponent of the support order type, with value ⊥ at zero.

Degree is the leading Cantor exponent of the support order type.
Degree zero is equivalent to nonzero finite support.
The degree of a nonzero Hahn series is nonnegative.
Degree is at most zero exactly for finite-support Hahn series, including the zero series.
A Hahn series has positive degree exactly when its support is infinite.
Degree is strictly below zero exactly at the zero Hahn series.
This is LM24's maximum characterization of the degree of a nonzero Hahn series.
A degree lies strictly below α exactly when the support order type lies strictly below
ω^α.
Inclusion of supports cannot decrease degree.
Weak lower truncation cannot increase degree. This strengthens the final consequence following LM24, Definition 3.2.2 by removing its unnecessary properness hypothesis.
A Hahn series has support order type a + b exactly when it is a sum whose first support lies
strictly below its second support and whose summands have support order types a and b. This is
LM24, Proposition 3.2.1, generalized from field coefficients and a fixed cardinal support bound to
additive-monoid coefficients and unrestricted Hahn series. The constructed summands have supports
contained in the original support, so the result restricts to the source's support regime.
A decomposition from supportOrderType_eq_add_iff is uniquely determined by the order type of
its lower summand. This is the uniqueness used when LM24 iterates Proposition 3.2.1.
The support order type of a pairwise support-separated finite sum is the ordinary ordinal sum of the support order types, in list order.
The support order type splits at a strict lower and weak upper truncation. This is the first order-type equality following LM24, Definition 3.2.2.
The support order type splits at a weak lower and strict upper truncation. This is the second order-type equality following LM24, Definition 3.2.2.
A proper weak lower truncation has strictly smaller support order type. This is the strict inequality following LM24, Definition 3.2.2.
The order type of the support of a sum is at most the Hessenberg sum of the two support order types. This is LM24, Proposition 3.1.1(1), generalized from a field of coefficients.
The degree of a sum is at most the maximum of the two degrees. This is LM24, Corollary 3.1.2(1), generalized from a field of coefficients.
Negation preserves ordinary support order type.
Negation preserves degree.
Adding a series of strictly smaller degree does not change the larger degree.
The order type of the support of a product is at most the Hessenberg product of the two support order types. This is LM24, Proposition 3.1.1(2), generalized from an ordered abelian exponent group and a field of coefficients.
The degree of a product is at most the Hessenberg sum of the two degrees. This is LM24, Corollary 3.1.2(2), generalized from an ordered abelian exponent group and a field of coefficients.
Over an Archimedean exponent group every support is countable, so every support order type
is below ω₁.
Over an Archimedean exponent group every degree is a countable ordinal.
