We present three models concerning Tukey types of ultrafilters on $\omega$. The first model is built via a countable support iteration, and we show there is no basically generated ultrafilter in such model. The second and third models are…
In this paper, we characterize the possible cofinalities of the least $\lambda$-strongly compact cardinal. We show that, on the one hand, for any regular cardinal, $\delta$, that carries a $\lambda$-complete uniform ultrafilter, it is…
If $\mathcal P$ is a family of filters over some set $I$, a topological space $X$ is \emph{sequencewise $\mathcal P$-\brfrt compact} if, for every $I$-indexed sequence of elements of $X$, there is $F \in \mathcal P$ such that the sequence…
We prove that if S is a commutative semigroup with well founded universal semilattice or a solvable inverse semigroup with well founded semilattice of idempotents, then every strongly productive ultrafilter on S is idempotent. Moreover we…
This article surveys results regarding the Tukey theory of ultrafilters on countable base sets. The driving forces for this investigation are Isbell's Problem and the question of how closely related the Rudin-Keisler and Tukey…
We define and study certain linear orders on chainable continua. Those orders depend on a sequence of chains obtained from definition of chainability and on a fixed non-principal ultrafilter on the set of natural numbers. An alternative…
According to Kat\vetov (1988), for every infinite cardinal $\mathfrak m$ satisfying ${\mathfrak m}^{\mathfrak n}\leq {\mathfrak m}$ for all ${\mathfrak n}<{\mathfrak m}$, there exists a unique $\mathfrak m$-homogeneous universal metric…
Our previously developed Constrained-Pairing Mean-Field Theory (CPMFT) is shown to map onto an Unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) type method if one imposes a corresponding pair constraint to the correlation problem that forces occupation…
We show that, assuming the existence of $\mathfrak{c}$ incomparable selective ultrafilters, there exists a Wallace semigroup whose infinite countable power is the least power which fails to be countably compact. This answers positively…
We prove that, for an arbitrary topological space $X$, the following two conditions are equivalent: (a) Every open cover of $X$ has a finite subset with dense union (b) $X$ is $D$-pseudocompact, for every ultrafilter $D$. Locally, our…
We investigate the provability of classical combinatorial theorems in ZF. Using combinatorial arguments, we establish the following results for each infinite cardinal ${\kappa}\in On$, (1) ${\kappa}^+\to ({\kappa},{\omega}+1)$, (2) any…
If B is an infinite subset of omega and X is a topological group, let C^X_B be the set of all x in X such that <x^n : n in B> converges to 1. If F is a filter of infinite sets, let D^X_F be the union of all the C^X_B for B in F. The C^X_B…
We prove the following two results. Theorem A: Let alpha be a limit ordinal. Suppose that 2^{|alpha|}<aleph_alpha and 2^{|alpha|^+}<aleph_{|alpha|^+}, whereas aleph_alpha^{|alpha|}>aleph_{|alpha|^+}. Then for all n< omega and for all…
Let $S$ be a semitopological semigroup and $\mathcal{CB}(S)$ denotes the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded complex valued continuous functions on $S$ with uniform norm. A function $f\in \mathcal{CB}(S)$ is left multiplicative \linebreak…
We show that there is a set of $2^{2^{\kappa}}$ ultrafilters incomparable in Rudin-Frol\'ik order of $\beta \kappa \setminus \kappa$, where $\kappa$ is regular, for which no subset with more than one element has an infimum.
We study various combinatorial properties, and the implications between them, for filters generated by infinite-dimensional subspaces of a countable vector space. These properties are analogous to selectivity for ultrafilters on the natural…
We show that a semisimple overconvergent "absolutely unit-root" F-isocrystal on a geometrically connected smooth variety over a finite field becomes constant over a finite covering.
We show that there is some absolute constant $c>0$, such that for any union-closed family $\mathcal{F} \subseteq 2^{[n]}$, if \mbox{$|\mathcal{F}| \geq (\frac{1}{2}-c)2^n$}, then there is some element $i \in [n]$ that appears in at least…
We show that, consistently, there is an ultrafilter F on omega such that if N^l_n=(P^l_n cup Q^l_n,P^l_n,Q^l_n,R^l_n) (for l =1,2, n< omega), P^l_n cup Q^l_n subseteq omega, and prod_{n<omega} N^1_n/F and prod_{n< omega}N^2_n/F are…
This note answers the following question: Is it consistent that for an arbitrary tall summable ideal I_g there exists an I_g-ultrafilter which is not rapid? We show that assuming Martin's Axiom for \sigma-centered posets such ultrafilters…
