Finitely Supported Binary Relations between Infinite Atomic Sets

In the framework of finitely supported atomic sets, by using the notion of atomic cardinality and the T-finite support principle (a closure property for supports in some higher-order constructions), we present some finiteness properties of the finitely supported binary relations between infinite atomic sets. Of particular interest are finitely supported Dedekind-finite sets because they do not contain finitely supported, countably infinite subsets. We prove that the infinite sets ℘fs(Ak×Al), ℘fs(Ak×℘m(A)), ℘fs(℘n(A)×Ak) and ℘fs(℘n(A)×℘m(A)) do not contain uniformly supported infinite subsets. Moreover, the functions space ZAm does not contain a uniformly supported infinite subset whenever Z does not contain a uniformly supported infinite subset. All these sets are Dedekind-finite in the framework of finitely supported structures.
