\begin{abstract}
In his nominal logic work, Pitts 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 formulate the
theory so that it is compatible with Higher-Order Logic, which the original formulation by
Pitts is not.  We achieve this by not requiring that every construction has 
to have finite support. We present a formalisation 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 also describe a reasoning infrastructure
that automates properties about equivariance, and present a formalisation of
two abstraction operators that bind sets of names.
