Show that ℵα2=ℵα\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 ℵ0\aleph_{0} and ℵ1\aleph_{1} are regular.

Is ℵ2\aleph_{2} regular? Is ℵω\aleph_{\omega} regular? Justify your answers.
