In set theory, Θ (pronounced like the letter theta) is the least nonzero ordinal α such that there is no surjection from the reals onto α. If the axiom of choice (AC) holds (or even if the reals can be wellordered), then Θ is simply , the cardinal successor of the cardinality of the continuum. However, Θ is often studied in contexts where the axiom of choice fails, such as models of the axiom of determinacy. Θ is also the supremum of the lengths of all prewellorderings of the reals.
