Pitts et al introduced a beautiful theory about names and binding based on the
notions of atoms, permutations and support. The engineering challenge is to
smoothly adapt this theory to a theorem prover environment, in our case
-Isabelle/HOL. For this we have to make the theory compatible with choice
-principles, which the work by Pitts is not. We present a formalisation of
-this work that is based on a unified atom type and that represents
-permutations by bijective functions from atoms to atoms. Interestingly, we
-allow swappings, which are permutations build from two atoms, to be
-ill-sorted. We extend the nominal logic work with a formalisation of an

abstraction operator that binds sets of names.
