On products of ultrafilters

Logic 2025-06-11 v1

Abstract

Assuming the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis, this paper answers the question: when is the tensor product of two ultrafilters equal to their Cartesian product? It is necessary and sufficient that their Cartesian product is an ultrafilter; that the two ultrafilters commute in the tensor product; that for all cardinals λ\lambda, one of the ultrafilters is both λ\lambda-indecomposable and λ+\lambda^+-indecomposable; that the ultrapower embedding associated to each ultrafilter restricts to a definable embedding of the ultrapower of the universe associated to the other.
