In the Basic Fraenkel Model: Does the permutations in the group used to define it, need to have finite support?

125 Views Asked by At

In the Basic Fraenkel Model (BFM), ZFA in Jech's book "The Axiom of Choice", permutations in a group are used to define a normal filter. My question is:

  1. Do these permutations need to be in the BFM model (i.e have finite support)? Or do they come from the bigger class, ZFA + AC? (it is not clear to me from the text).

If the answer is that they come from the bigger model, then this leads to a follow-up question:

  1. Is it known if the Basic Fraenkel Model defined using the group of all permutations on atoms $A$ is equivalent to a model which is defined similarly except that it uses the group of permutations on $A$ which moves only finitely many atoms?

Thanks in advance for any clarity on this!
