Is anybody aware of a formalisation of an ordinal notation, in particular, Cantor normal form? Preferably in Isabelle, and I’m aware of the following one, in Agda: https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.10759
There, the authors manage to define a type, a relation and a function simultaneously. Impressive!

Hi,
Pierre Casteran worked on this subject in his project of formalization of
the impossibility of proving Goodstein theorem in Peano arithmetic and
related subjects. Here is the reference from his website:

Kind regards,
José M.

Matt Kaufmann and I proved epsilon-0 induction in HOL a few years back, as
part of a project to model ACL2 in HOL.
Michael Norrish and Brian Huffmann combined their work in a much more
expansive work.

Ordinal notations for ordinals less than epsilon_0 have been formalized in
lean:

Hi Larry,
the hereditarily finite multisets are pretty close to the Cantor normal form for ordinals below epsilon0. See also our (Jasmin Blanchette's, Mathias Fleury's, and mine) FSCD'17 paper
http://people.inf.ethz.ch/trayteld/papers/fscd17-nmult/nmult.pdf
and the corresponding AFP entry
https://www.isa-afp.org/entries/Nested_Multisets_Ordinals.html
We also connect our "hmultiset"s to Brian Huffman's countable ordinals (https://www.isa-afp.org/entries/Ordinal.html), so that one can benefit from both representations.
If you need to go beyond epsilon0, there is of course the ordinals and cardinals library in the Isabelle distribution (HOL-Cardinals). There is a fair bit of ordinal arithmetic but no Cantor normal form.
Cheers,
Dmitriy
