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…
The first part of the paper is a brief overview of Hindman's finite sums theorem, its prehistory and a few of its further generalizations, and a modern technique used in proving these and similar results, which is based on idempotent…
We prove, in ZFC, that there is an infinite strictly descending chain of classes of theories in Keisler's order. Thus Keisler's order is infinite and not a well order. Moreover, this chain occurs within the simple unstable theories,…
A systematic geometric theory for the ultradifferentiable (non-quasianalytic and quasianalytic) wavefront set similar to the well-known theory in the classic smooth and analytic setting is developed. In particular an analogue of Bony's…
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…
In this article, we study the variation of the Gieseker and Uhlenbeck compactifications of the moduli spaces of Mumford-Takemoto stable vector bundles of rank 2 by changing polarizations. Some {\it canonical} rational morphisms among the…
We introduce axiomatically the ring $\bf{Z}_\kappa$ of the Euclidean integers, that can be viewed as the ``integral part" of the field $\mathbb{E}$ of Euclidean numbers of [4], where the transfinite sum of ordinal indexed $\kappa$-sequences…
Let $A$ be an artinian algebra, and let $\mathcal{C}$ be a subcategory of mod$A$ that is closed under extensions. When $\mathcal{C}$ is closed under kernels of epimorphisms (or closed under cokernels of monomorphisms), we describe the…
Every directed set is Tukey equivalent to (a) the family of all compact subsets, ordered by inclusion, of a (locally compact) space, to (b) a neighborhood filter, ordered by reverse inclusion, of a point (of a compact space, and of a…
Under MA we prove that for the ideal $\cal I$ of thin sets on $\omega$ and for any ordinal $\gamma \leq \omega_1$ there is an ${\cal I}$-ultrafilter (in the sense of Baumgartner), which belongs to the class ${\cal P}_{\gamma}$ of…
We continue our investigation =of Shelah's interpretability orders $\trianglelefteq^*_\kappa$ as well as the new orders $\trianglelefteq^\times_\kappa$. In particular, we give streamlined proofs of the existence of minimal unstable,…
Given two infinite cardinals $\kappa$ and $\lambda$, we introduce and study the notion of a $\kappa$-barely independent family over $\lambda.$ We provide some conditions under which these types of families exist. In particular, we relate…
The manuscript is concerned with the Rudin-Keisler order of ultrafilters on measurable cardinals. The main theorem proved read as follows: Given regular cardinals $\lambda\leq \kappa$, the following theories are equiconsistent modulo ZFC:…
The tower number $\mathfrak t$ and the ultrafilter number $\mathfrak u$ are cardinal characteristics from set theory. They are based on combinatorial properties of classes of subsets of~$\omega$ and the almost inclusion relation…
Using geometric methods and without invoking deep results from group theory, we prove that a classical unital of even order $n\geq4$ is characterized by two conditions (I) and (II): (I) is the absence of O'Nan configurations of four…
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.…
A well-known result in dynamical systems asserts that any Cantor minimal system $(X,T)$ has a maximal rational equicontinuous factor $(Y,S)$ which is in fact an odometer, and realizes the rational subgroup of the $K_0$-group of $(X,T)$,…
Given a cover $\mathbb{U}$ of a family of smooth complex algebraic varieties, we associate with it a class $\mathcal{U},$ containing $\mathbb{U}$, of structures locally definable in an o-minimal expansion of the reals. We prove that the…
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…
Let $p$ be an idempotent ultrafilter over $\mathbb{N}$. For a positive integer $N$, let ${\cal P}_{\leq N}$ denote the additive group of polynomials $P\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with ${\rm deg}\, P\leq N$ and $P(0)=0$. Given a unitary operator $U$…
