Omnific Integer


An omnific integer is a surreal number whose normal-form expansion has only nonnegative exponents of omega and an integer constant coefficient. These numbers form the ordered ring usually denoted Oz. Ordinary integers are omnific integers, as are omega and omega/2, but 1/2 and omega^(-1) are not.

Conway's refinement conjecture concerns factorizations in this ring.
