Show that α2=α\aleph_{\alpha}^{2}=\aleph_{\alpha} for all α\alpha.

An infinite cardinal mm is called regular if it cannot be written as a sum of fewer than mm cardinals each of which is smaller than mm. Prove that 0\aleph_{0} and 1\aleph_{1} are regular.

Is 2\aleph_{2} regular? Is ω\aleph_{\omega} regular? Justify your answers.
