Let (S_0,S_1,...) be a supermartingale relative to a nondecreasing sequence of \sigma-algebras (H_{\le0},H_{\le1},...), with S_0\le0 almost surely (a.s.) and differences X_i:=S_i-S_{i-1}. Suppose that for every i=1,2,... there exist…

In this paper, we present a first-order frame condition for interpretability logic and show that the condition is not modally definable. Yet, the frame-condition holds both on ILM and on ILP frames and, hence, is of potential importance for…

We construct a model of the form $L[A,U]$ that exhibits the simplest structural behavior of $\sigma$-complete ultrafilters in a model of set theory with a single measurable cardinal $\kappa$ , yet satisfies $2^\kappa = \kappa^{++}$. This…

We show that all monomial ideals in the polynomial ring in at most 3 variables are pretty clean and that an arbitrary monomial ideal $I$ is pretty clean if and only if its polarization $I^p$ is clean. This yields a new characterization of…

In this paper, we provide a combinatorial characterization of the elements of Schur ultrafilters on countable commutative groups. Using this characterization, we construct a free Schur ultrafilter on $\mathbb Z$ that is not infinitary…

We prove that if $A$ is a singular MASA in a II$_1$ factor $M$ and $\omega$ is a free ultrafilter, then for any $x\in M\ominus A$, with $\|x\|\leq 1$, and any $n\geq 2$, there exists a partition of $1$ with projections $p_1, p_2, ...,…

It is consistent with ZF + DC that there exists an ultrafilter $U$ on $\omega$ such that two infinite ultraproducts of finite sets, $\prod A_n / U$ and $\prod B_n / U$, have the same cardinality if and only if $0 < \lim_U |A_n|/|B_n| <…

We show that a real sequence $x$ is convergent if and only if there exist a regular matrix $A$ and an $F_{\sigma\delta}$-ideal $\mathcal{I}$ on $\mathbf{N}$ such that the set of subsequences $y$ of $x$ for which $Ay$ is…

Existence of specific \emph{eternal solutions} in exponential self-similar form to the following quasilinear diffusion equation with strong absorption$$\partial_t u=\Delta u^m-|x|^{\sigma}u^q,$$posed for…

We prove the consistency of a singular cardinal $\lambda$ with small value of the ultrafilter number $u_\lambda$, and arbitrarily large value of $2^\lambda$.

We discuss the existence of complete accumulation points of sequences in products of topological spaces. Then we collect and generalize many of the results proved in Parts I, II and IV. The present Part VI is complementary to Part V to the…

Smoothing causal linear time-invariant filters are studied for continuous time processes. The paper suggests a family of causal filters with almost exponential damping of the energy on the higher frequencies. These filters are sub-ideal…

Main result: If a C*-algebra is simple, $\sigma$-unital, has finitely many extremal traces, and has strict comparison of positive elements by traces, then its multiplier also has strict comparison of positive elements by traces. The same…

It was recently shown that arbitrary first-order models canonically extend to models (of the same language) consisting of ultrafilters. The main precursor of this construction was the extension of semigroups to semigroups of ultrafilters, a…

Using a new concept of conglomerated filter we demonstrate in a purely combinatorial way that none of Erd\"{o}s-Ulam filters or summable filters can be generated by a single statistical measure and consequently they cannot be represented as…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma_1(G)=\frac{1}{|G|}\sum_{H\leq G}\,|H|$. In this paper, we prove that if $\sigma_1(G)<2+\frac{11}{|G|}$\,, then $G$ is supersolvable. In particular, some new characterizations of the well-known groups…

For a set of sorts $S$ and an $S$-sorted signature $\Sigma$ we prove that a profinite $\Sigma$-algebra, i.e., a projective limit of a projective system of finite $\Sigma$-algebras, is a retract of an ultraproduct of finite $\Sigma$-algebras…

The aim of this paper is to construct ultrafilters without immediate predecessors in the Rudin-Frolik order in $\beta \kappa\setminus \kappa$, where $\kappa$ is a regular cardinal. This generalizes the problem posed by Peter Simon more than…

A cohesive power of a computable structure is an effective ultrapower where a cohesive set acts as an ultrafilter. Let $\omega$, $\zeta$, and $\eta$ denote the respective order-types of the natural numbers, the integers, and the rationals.…

We continue the research of an extension $\widetilde{\mid}$ of the divisibility relation to the Stone-\v Cech compactification $\beta N$. First we prove that ultrafilters we call prime actually possess the algebraic property of primality.…
