Abstract

Working in Z + KP, we give a new proof that the class of hereditarily finite sets cannot be proved to be a set in Zermelo set theory, extend the method to establish other failures of replacement, and exhibit a formula Φ(λ, a) such that for any sequence ⟨Aλλ a limit ordinal⟩ where for each λ. Aλλ2, there is a supertransitive inner model of Zermelo containing all ordinals in which for every λAλ = {a ∣ Φ(λ, a)}.
