It is known that the Infinity Axiom can be expressed, even if the Axiom of Foundation is not assumed, in a logically simple form, by means of a formula involving only restricted universal quantifiers. Moreover, with Aczel’s Anti-Foundation Axiom superseding von Neumann’s Axiom of Foundation, a similar formula has recently emerged, which enjoys the additional property that it is satisfied only by (infinite) ill-founded sets. We give here new short proofs of both results.

Abstract
It is known that the Infinity Axiom can be expressed, even if the Axiom of Foundation is not assumed, in a logically simple form, by means of a formula involving only restricted universal quantifiers. Moreover, with Aczel’s Anti-Foundation Axiom superseding von Neumann’s Axiom of Foundation, a similar formula has recently emerged, which enjoys the additional property that it is satisfied only by (infinite) ill-founded sets. We give here new short proofs of both results.File in questo prodotto:
