The paper first covers several properties of the extension of the divisibility relation to a set ${}^*\hspace{-0.5mm}N$ of nonstandard integers. After that, a connection is established with the divisibility in the Stone-\v{C}ech…
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.…
We consider five divisibility orders on the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification $\beta N$. We find antichains of incompatible elements, and characterize maximal and minimal elements. The main result shows that two of these relations, $\mid_L$…
For a $C_0(X)$-algebra $A$, we study $C(K)$-algebras $B$ that we regard as compactifications of $A$, generalising the notion of (the algebra of continuous functions on) a compactification of a completely regular space. We show that $A$…
The following is an open problem in topology: Determine whether the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of a widely-connected space is necessarily an indecomposable continuum. Herein we describe properties of $X$ that are necessary and…
A set A of natural numbers is finitely embeddable in another such set B if every finite subset of A has a rightward translate that is a subset of B. This notion of finite embeddability arose in combinatorial number theory, but in this paper…
To work more accurately with elements of the semigroup of the Stone Cech compactification of the discrete semigroup of natural numbers N under multiplication. We divided these elements into ultrafilters which are on finite levels and…
An extension of the divisibility relation on $\mathbb{N}$ to the set $\beta\mathbb{N}$ of ultrafilters on $\mathbb{N}$ was defined and investigated in several papers during the last ten years. Here we make a survey of results obtained so…
In this paper we will prove that all the elements in the smallest ideal K($\beta$N) in the semigroup of the Stone Cech compactification ($\beta$N,.) of the discrete semigroup of natural numbers N under multiplication constitute a single…
We further investigate a divisibility relation on the set $\beta N$ of ultrafilters on the set of natural numbers. We single out prime ultrafilters (divisible only by 1 and themselves) and establish a hierarchy in which a position of every…
The Stone-Cech compactification of the natural numbers bN, or equivalently, the space of ultrafilters on the subsets of omega, is a well-studied space with interesting properties. If one replaces the subsets of omega by partitions of omega,…
We explore the Borel complexity of some basic families of subsets of a countable group (large, small, thin, sparse and other) defined by the size of their elements. Applying the obtained results to the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification $\beta…
A space is reversible if every continuous bijection of the space onto itself is a homeomorphism. In this paper we study the question of which countable spaces with a unique non-isolated point are reversible. By Stone duality, these spaces…
Working in Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory with Atoms over an $\omega$-categorical $\omega$-stable structure, we show how \emph{infinite} constructions over definable sets can be encoded as \emph{finite} constructions over the Stone-\v{C}ech…
For every natural number $ n $, any continuous function on the product of $ X_1 \times X_2 \times ... \times X_n $ pseudocompact spaces extends to a separately continuous function on the product $ \beta X_1 \times \beta X_2 \times ...…
In this work we analyze some topological properties of the remainder $\partial M:=\beta_s^* M\setminus M$ of the semialgebraic Stone-C\v{e}ch compactification $\beta_s^* M$ of a semialgebraic set $M\subset{\mathbb R}^m$ in order to…
We provide partial solutions to two problems posed by Shehtman concerning the modal logic of the \v{C}ech-Stone compactification of an ordinal space. We use the Continuum Hypothesis to give a finite axiomatization of the modal logic of…
In this paper we will systematically study the preservation of the notion of largeness of sets, arises from the algebraic structure of Stone-Cech compactification, under homomorphism and difference group. Some of these results were studied…
Stone-$\breve{C}$ech compactifications derived from a discrete semigroup $S$ can be considered as the spectrum of the algebra $\mathcal{B}(S)$ or as a collection of ultrafilters on $S$. What is certain and indisputable is the fact that…
We study that natural inclusions $C^b(X) \tensor A$ into $C^b(X,A)$ and $C^b(X, C^b(Y))$ into $C^b(X \times Y)$. In particular, excepting trivial cases, both these maps are isomorphisms only when $X$ and $Y$ are pseudocompact. This implies…
