A set $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ is a set of pointwise recurrence if for all minimal dynamical systems $(X, T)$, all $x \in X$, and all open neighborhoods $U \subseteq X$ of $x$, there exists a time $n \in A$ such that $T^n x \in U$. The set…
Some filter relative notions of size, $\left( \mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}\right) $-syndeticity and piecewise $\mathcal{F} $-syndeticity, were defined and applied with clarity and focus by Shuungula, Zelenyuk and Zelenyuk in their paper ``The…
We characterize relative notions of syndetic and thick sets using, what we call, "derived" sets along ultrafilters. Manipulations of derived sets is a characteristic feature of algebra in the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification and its…
We discuss some notions of compactness and convergence relative to a specified family F of subsets of some topological space X. The two most interesting particular cases of our construction appear to be the following ones. (1) The case in…
Characterizations of ultrafilters belong to the smallest ideal of Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of a discrete semigroup are exhibited using syndetic sets, strongly central sets and very strongly central sets respectively. These lead to…
Right and left thick, syndetic, piecewise syndetic, and fat sets in groups are studied. The main concern is the interplay between such sets in Boolean groups. Natural topologies closely related to fat sets are also considered, which leads…
We investigate families of graphs and graphons (graph limits) that are defined by a finite number of prescribed subgraph densities. Our main focus is the case when the family contains only one element, i.e., a unique structure is forced by…
There is a long history of studying Ramsey theory using the algebraic structure of the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of discrete semigroup. It has been shown that various Ramsey theoretic structures are contained in different algebraic…
In our previous papers, together with J. Paseka we introduced so-called sectionally pseudocomplemented lattices and posets and illuminated their role in algebraic constructions. We believe that - similar to relatively pseudocomplemented…
We continue the exploration of various aspects of divisibility of ultrafilters, adding one more relation to the picture: multiplicative finite embeddability. We show that it lies between divisibility relations $\mid_M$ and…
We say that a family of $k$-subsets of an $n$-element set is {\it intersecting}, if any two of its sets intersect. In this paper, we study the structure of large intersecting families. Several years ago, Han and Kohayakawa (Proc. AMS,…
Given a semigroup $S$, we introduce relative (with respect to a filter $\tau$ on $S$) versions of large, thick and prethick subsets of $S$, give the ultrafilter characterizations of these subsets and explain how large could be some cell in…
Furstenberg and Glasner proved that for an arbitrary k in N, any piecewise syndetic set contains k length arithmetic progression and such collection is also piecewise syndetic in Z: They used algebraic structure of beta N. The above result…
This book studies ultrafilters on connectivity systems, that is, on pairs \((X,f)\) where \(X\) is a finite set and \(f:2^{X}\to \mathbb{N}\) is a symmetric submodular function. Ultrafilters, which play a fundamental role in topology and…
The work in this article is concerned with two different types of families of finite sets: separating families and splitting families (they are also called "systems"). These families have applications in combinatorial search, coding theory,…
This work is devoted to the so-called filtration theory of semigroup generators in the unit disk. It should be noted that numerous filtrations studied to nowdays have been introduced for different purposes and considered from different…
An assortments of `species' of families of subsets of a set and some of their properties are investigated, with an eye on the logic and limit role they may play as `relaxed parallels' to ultrafilters.
This article is devoted to the investigation of structure of wrap groups of fiber bundles over ultra-normed infinite fields and more generally over Cayley-Dickson algebras. Iterated wrap groups are studied as well. Their smashed products…
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…
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…
