We generalize the results from "P. Lipparini, Productive $[\lambda,\mu]$-compactness and regular ultrafilters, Topology Proceedings, 21 (1996), 161--171"; in particular the present results apply to singular cardinals, too.

We study the strength of well-founded ultrafilters on ordinals above choiceless large cardinals and their associated Prikry forcings. Gabriel Goldberg showed that all but boundedly many regular cardinals above a rank Berkeley cardinal carry…

Opers were introduced by Beilinson-Drinfeld [arXiv:math.AG/0501398]. In [J. Math. Pures Appl. 82 (2003), 1-42] a higher rank analog was considered, where the successive quotients of the oper filtration are allowed to have higher rank. We…

In [1] the authors showed some basic properties of a pre-order that arose in combinatorial number theory, namely the finite embeddability between sets of natural numbers, and they presented its generalization to ultrafilters, which is…

In the article 'Ordinal Logics and the Characterizations of the Informal Concept of Proof', Georg Kreisel poses the problem of assigning unique notations to recursive ordinals, and additionally suggests that the methods which are developed…

We study the Rudin-Blass (and the Rudin-Keisler) ordering on the finite additive measures on $\omega$. We propose a generalization of the notion of Q-point and selective ultrafilter to measures: Q-measures and selective measures. We show…

We study the structure of the Rudin-Frolik order on countably complete ultrafilters under the assumption that this order is directed. This assumption, called the Ultrapower Axiom, holds in all known canonical inner models. It turns out that…

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,…

We present some Zermelo-Fraenkel consistency results regarding bi-orderability of groups, as well as a construction of groups with Conradian orders whose every action on metric spaces has bounded orbits. A classical consequence of the…

We define a special version of the ultralimit, called the skewed ultralimit. Using this tool, we show that the set of ultrafilter types in the $C$-equivalence class of a Ramsey ultrafilter $\mathfrak u\in \beta\omega$ with the Rudin-Keisler…

We introduce $\textit{Laver ultrafilters}$, namely ultrafilters $\mathcal{U}$ for which the associated Laver forcing $\mathbb{L}_{\mathcal{U}}$ has the Laver property. We give simple combinatorial characterisations of these ultrafilters,…

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…

We improve upon a recent result of Culler and Dunfield on orderability of certain Dehn fillings by removing a difficult condition they required.

We continue investigations of reasonable ultrafilters on uncountable cardinals defined in math.LO/0407498. We introduce stronger properties of ultrafilters and we show that those properties may be handled in lambda-support iterations of…

In \cite{HK}, Hayut and Karagila asked some questions about uniform ultrafilters in a choiceless context. We provide several answers to their questions.

We introduce the notion of additive filter and present a new proof of the existence of idempotent ultrafilters on N without any use of Zorn's Lemma, and where one only assumes the Ultrafilter Theorem for the continuum.

A well-known version of Rowbottom's theorem for supercompactness ultrafilters leads naturally to notions of two-cardinal Ramseyness and corresponding normal ideals introduced herein. Generalizing results of Baumgartner [7, 8], Feng [22] and…

We use indecomposable ultrafilters to answer some questions of Hayut, Karagila paper "Spectra of uniformity". It is shown that the bound on the strength by T. Usuba "A note on uniform ultrafilters in choiceless context" is optimal.

We extend to singular cardinals the model-theoretical relation $\lambda \stackrel{\kappa}{\Rightarrow} \mu$ introduced in P. Lipparini, The compactness spectrum of abstract logics, large cardinals and combinatorial principles, Boll. Unione…

Euclidean functions with values in an arbitrary well-ordered set were first considered in a 1949 work of Motzkin and studied in more detail in work of Fletcher, Samuel and Nagata in the 1970's and 1980's. Here these results are revisited,…
