Diagonal intersection is a term used in mathematics, especially in set theory.
If δ{\displaystyle \displaystyle \delta } is an ordinal number and ⟨Xα∣α<δ⟩{\displaystyle \displaystyle \langle X_{\alpha }\mid \alpha <\delta \rangle } is a sequence of subsets of δ{\displaystyle \displaystyle \delta }, then the diagonal intersection, denoted by
