In this paper we settle all questions whether (it is consistent that) the properties P and Q [do not] coincide, where P and Q run over selection principles of the type U_fin(O,A).
Ultrafilters are very useful and versatile objects with applications throughout mathematics: in topology, analysis, combinarotics, model theory, and even theory of social choice. Proofs based on ultrafilters tend to be shorter and more…
Let $R$ be a ring with unity and $U(R)$ its group of units. Let $\Delta U=\{a\in U(R)\mid [U(R):C_{U(R)}(a)]<\infty\}$ be the $FC$-radical of $U(R)$ and let $\nabla(R)=\{a\in R\mid [U(R):C_{U(R)}(a)]<\infty\}$ be the $FC$-subring of $R$. An…
Consider the following generalization of the bicyclic monoid. Let $\kappa$ be any infinite cardinal and let $\mathcal{IP\!F}\left(\sigma{\mathbb{N}^\kappa}\right)$ be the semigroup of all order isomorphisms between principal filters of the…
Given a filter $\Delta$ in the poset of compositions of $n$, we form the filter $\Pi^{*}_{\Delta}$ in the partition lattice. We determine all the reduced homology groups of the order complex of $\Pi^{*}_{\Delta}$ as ${\mathfrak…
In earlier work of the second and third author the equivalence of a finite square principle square^fin_{lambda,D} with various model theoretic properties of structures of size lambda and regular ultrafilters was established. In this paper…
We determine the semisimplicity criterion for even partition algebras over the complex field. Specifically we prove that the even/2-tonal partition algebras $P_n^2(\delta)$ over $\mathbb{C}$ are semisimple for all $n$ if and only if…
We develop the theory of residuated lattices by introducing and studying several new types of filters and related concepts, including semi-simple filters, essential filters, the socle of a filter, and independent families of filters. Our…
The existing topological representation of an orthocomplemented lattice via the clopen orthoregular subsets of a Stone space depends upon Alexander's Subbase Theorem, which asserts that a topological space $X$ is compact if every subbasic…
We call an element $U$ conditionally universal for a sequential convergence space $\mathbf{\Omega}$ with respect to a minimal system $\{\varphi_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ in a continuously and densely embedded Banach space…
We derive the unique continuation property of a class of semi-linear elliptic equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearities. The simplest type of equations to which our results apply is given as $-\Delta u = |u|^{\sigma-1} u$ in a domain…
A set of natural numbers will be called \emph{harmonic} if the reciprocals of its elements form a divergent series. An ultrafilter of the natural numbers will he called \emph{harmonic} if all each members are harmonic sets. The harmonic…
We obtain a small ultrafilter number at $\aleph_{\omega_1}$. Moreover, we develop a version of the overlapping strong extender forcing with collapses which can keep the top cardinal $\kappa$ inaccessible. We apply this forcing to construct…
In this paper, we use Schur elements to derive semisimplicity criteria for (super)symmetric superalgebras. We obtain a closed formula for the Schur elements of cyclotomic Hecke-Clifford superalgebras $\mathcal{H}^{f}_{\mathbb{K}}$. As…
We investigate various groupoids associated to an arbitrary inverse semigroup with zero. We show that the groupoid of filters with respect to the natural partial order is isomorphic to the groupoid of germs arising from the standard action…
Some new results on metric ultraproducts of finite simple groups are presented. Suppose that G is such a group, defined in terms of a non-principal ultrafilter {\omega} on N and a sequence {(G_i)_{i \in N}} of finite simple groups, and that…
We give the first (ZFC) dividing line in Keisler's order among the unstable theories, specifically among the simple unstable theories. That is, for any infinite cardinal $\lambda$ for which there is $\mu < \lambda \leq 2^\mu$, we construct…
In this paper we investigate Schur ultrafilters on groups. Using the algebraic structure of Stone-\v{C}ech compactifications of discrete groups and Schur ultrafilters, we give a new description of Bohr compactifications of topological…
We prove that faithful traces on separable and nuclear C*-algebras in the UCT class are quasidiagonal. This has a number of consequences. Firstly, by results of many hands, the classification of unital, separable, simple and nuclear…
We characterize the existence of minimal idempotent ultrafilters (on N) in the style of reverse mathematics and higher-order reverse mathematics using the Auslander-Ellis theorem and variant thereof. We obtain that the existence of minimal…
