It is well known that
1. ZF with the usual axiom of infinity - having emptyset and closed
under x goes to x union {x} - proves the existence of V(omega); yet
2. Zermelo, even with choice and foundation, with the usual axiom of
infinity, does not prove the existence of V(omega).
However, I don't know what reference should be used for this, or how
credit should be assigned.
Can anyone help?
