Andrei Alexandru and Gabriel Ciobanu: Mathematics of multisets in the Fraenkel-Mostowski framework, p.3-18

Abstract:

We present multisets in the framework of the Fraenkel-Mostowski set theory. We extend the notion of multiset over a finite alphabet by considering the notion of algebraically finitely supported multiset over a possibly infinite alphabet. We study the correspondence between some properties of multisets obtained in the Fraenkel-Mostowski framework (where only finitely supported elements are allowed) and those obtained in the classical Zermelo-Fraenkel framework.

Key Words: Fraenkel-Mostowski set theory, finitely supported elements, extended multiset, nominal monoid.
