 Solution

For fixed $\beta$, the recursion defining $\beta +\alpha$ makes it continuous in $\alpha$ at every nonzero limit, and $(\beta +\alpha )+1>\beta +\alpha$. Thus $\alpha \mapsto \beta +\alpha$ is normal, including when $\beta =0$.

For $\beta >0$, take $\lambda =\beta \cdot \omega$. If $\alpha <\lambda$, choose a natural number $n$ with $\alpha <\beta n$; then $\alpha +\beta \le \beta (n+1)<\lambda$. Since $\alpha +\beta \ge \alpha$, their supremum as $\alpha \uparrow \lambda$ is $\lambda$. But $\lambda +\beta >\lambda$, soHence right addition by a nonzero fixed ordinal fails continuity and is not normal.

Normality and argument order in ordinal arithmetic also give the multiplication statements: $\alpha \mapsto \beta \cdot \alpha$ is normal for $\beta >0$, while $\alpha \mapsto \alpha \cdot \beta$ is normal exactly when $\beta =1$. At $\beta =0$ it is constant. For fixed $\beta >1$, let $\kappa ={\omega }^{\beta \cdot \omega }$. Cantor normal form shows that $\xi \beta <\kappa$ whenever $\xi <\kappa$: leading exponents below $\beta \omega$ remain below it after adding the leading exponent of $\beta$. Thus ${\sup }_{\xi <\kappa }\xi \beta =\kappa$, but $\kappa \beta >\kappa$, again violating continuity. Left-fixed multiplication is strictly increasing and continuous by its recursion.

For exponentiation, $\alpha \mapsto {\beta }^{\alpha }$ is normal for $\beta \ge 2$; bases zero and one are exceptions. The reverse map $\alpha \mapsto {\alpha }^{\beta }$ is normal exactly when $\beta =1$. Exponent zero gives the constant one. For $\beta >1$, use the same $\kappa$ and put $\lambda ={\omega }^{\kappa }$. For each $\alpha <\lambda$ choose $0<\zeta <\kappa$ with $\alpha \le {\omega }^{\zeta }$. Then ${\alpha }^{\beta }\le {\omega }^{\zeta \beta }<\lambda$, while ${\alpha }^{\beta }\ge \alpha$ for positive $\alpha$. Consequently its left supremum is $\lambda$, but ${\lambda }^{\beta }={\omega }^{\kappa \beta }>\lambda$. The bound by ${\omega }^{\zeta }$ also handles finite bases, where an unqualified leading-exponent multiplication formula would need care. All these are ordinal facts and use no choice.
