We introduce the theory $\mathrm{PF}^{+,\times}$ of pseudofinite fields with generic additive and multiplicative character added as continuous logic predicates. Using the Weil bounds on character sums over finite fields as well as the…
We provide two types of guessing principles for ultrafilter ($\diamondsuit^{-}_{\lambda}(U), \ \diamondsuit^p_\lambda(U)$) on $\omega$ which form subclasses of Tukey-top ultrafilters, and construct such ultrafilters in $ZFC$. These…
For a space $X$ let $\mathcal{K}(X)$ be the set of compact subsets of $X$ ordered by inclusion. A map $\phi:\mathcal{K}(X) \to \mathcal{K}(Y)$ is a relative Tukey quotient if it carries compact covers to compact covers. When there is such a…
We investigate mutual behavior of cascades, contours of which are contained in a fixed ultrafilter. Using that relation we prove (ZFC) that the class of strict $J_{\omega^\omega}$-ultrafilters, introduced by J. E. Baumgartner in…
The paper studies thin times which are random times whose graph is contained in a countable union of the graphs of stopping times with respect to a reference filtration $\mathbb F$. We show that a generic random time can be decomposed into…
Alas, Junqueira and Wilson asked whether there is a discretely generated locally compact space whose one point compactification is not discretely generated and gave a consistent example using CH. Their construction uses a remote filter in…
We discuss the connection between various orders on the class of all the ultrafilters and certain compactness properties of abstract logics and of topological spaces. We present a model theoretical characterization of Comfort order. We…
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…
This paper deals with properties of filtrations on vector spaces indexed by partially ordered finitely generated abelian groups, which we call multifiltrations. We discuss the usual properties of filtrations, like exhaustivity and…
We construct the Fukaya category of a closed surface equipped with an area form using only elementary (essentially combinatorial) methods. We also compute the Grothendieck group of its derived category.
We continue algebraization of the set of ultrafilters on a metric spaces initiated in [6]. In particular, we define and study metric counterparts of prime, strongly prime and right cancellable ultrafilters from the Stone-$\check{C}$ech…
We prove, in ZFC alone, some new results on regularity and decomposability of ultrafilters. We also list some problems, and furnish applications to topological spaces and to extended logics.
We isolate a new class of ultrafilters on N, called "quasi-selective" because they are intermediate between selective ultrafilters and P-points. (Under the Continuum Hypothesis these three classes are distinct.) The existence of…
We study the Point/Tukey spectrum of a general directed set using PCF theoretic tools and uncover basic connections between the theories. In particular, we prove that if the supremum of the Tukey spectrum is singular, then its cofinality…
We prove that consistently there is a singular cardinal $\kappa$ of uncountable cofinality such that $2^\kappa$ is weakly inaccessible, and every regular cardinal strictly between $\kappa$ and $2^\kappa$ is the character of some uniform…
In recent years, several problems regarding the partition regularity of exponential configurations have been studied in the literature, in some cases using the properties of specific ultrafilters. In this paper, we start to lay down the…
In standard construction of hyperrational numbers using an ultrapower we assume that the ultrafilter is selective. It makes possible to assign real value to any finite hyperrational number. So, we can consider hyperrational numbers with…
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…
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…
Let X be an abelian scheme over a scheme B. The Fourier--Mukai transform gives an equivalence between the derived category of X and the derived category of the dual abelian scheme. We partially extend this to certain schemes X over B (which…
