Summary: | Hybrid sets are defined as multisets having also negative multiplicities, i.e. as functions from a crisp set to the group of all integers. In this article, we introduce a significant advancement in hybrid sets through the concept of <i>group-valued multisets</i>. These multisets map elements of a set <i>X</i> to an arbitrary group, ensuring that each multiplicity has an inverse. This framework allows us to explore deeper relationships and correlations among the multiplicities of the elements within <i>X</i>. By involving the finitely supported sets, we study the new defined group-valued multisets over infinite universes of discourse in a finitary manner. After presenting the algebraic groups in the framework of finitely supported sets, we study the finitely supported group-valued multisets. We provide a finitary characterization of group-valued multisets over infinite universes of discourse, and obtain new results that generalize the properties of hybrid sets obtained in the Zermelo–Fraenkel framework. |
