Automatic Ordinals
Abstract
We prove that the injectively omega-tree-automatic ordinals are the ordinals smaller than $\omega^{\omega^\omega}$. Then we show that the injectively $\omega^n$-automatic ordinals, where $n>0$ is an integer, are the ordinals smaller than $\omega^{\omega^n}$. This strengthens a recent result of Schlicht and Stephan who considered in [Schlicht-Stephan11] the subclasses of finite word $\omega^n$-automatic ordinals. As a by-product we obtain that the hierarchy of injectively $\omega^n$-automatic structures, n>0, which was considered in [Finkel-Todorcevic12], is strict.
