We are interested in generalizing part of the theory of ultrafilters on omega to larger cardinals. Here we set the scene for further investigations introducing properties of ultrafilters in strong sense dual to being normal.

One partially ordered set, $Q$, is a Tukey quotient of another, $P$, denoted $P \geq_T Q$, if there is a map $\phi : P \to Q$ carrying cofinal sets of $P$ to cofinal sets of $Q$. Let $X$ be a space and denote by $\mathcal{K}(X)$ the set of…

Our results in this paper increase the model-theoretic precision of a widely used method for building ultrafilters, and so advance the general problem of constructing ultrafilters whose ultrapowers have a precise degree of saturation. We…

We prove a single category-theoretic result encapsulating the notions of ultrafilters, ultrapower, ultraproduct, tensor product of ultrafilters, the Rudin--Kiesler partial ordering on ultrafilters, and Blass's category of ultrafilters UF.…

Motivated by Tukey classification problems and building on work in \cite{Dobrinen/Todorcevic11}, we develop a new hierarchy of topological Ramsey spaces $\mathcal{R}_{\alpha}$, $\alpha<\omega_1$. These spaces form a natural hierarchy of…

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…

We develop the notion of coherent ultrafilters (extenders without normality or well-foundedness). We then use definable coherent ultraproducts to characterize any extension of a model $M$ in any fragment of $\mathbb{L}_{\infty, \omega}$…

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…

The elementary affine lambda-calculus was introduced as a polyvalent setting for implicit computational complexity, allowing for characterizations of polynomial time and hyperexponential time predicates. But these results rely on type…

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.

We say that an ultrafilter on an infinite group $G$ is DTC if it determines the topological centre of the semigroup $\beta G$. We prove that DTC ultrafilters do not exist for virtually BFC groups, and do exist for the countable groups that…

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…

We study projective completions of affine algebraic varieties which are given by filtrations, or equivalently, 'degree like functions' on their rings of regular functions. For a quasifinite polynomial map P (i.e. with all fibers finite) of…

For a general linear supergroup $G=GL(m|n)$, we consider a natural isomorphism $\phi: G \to U^-\times G_{ev} \times U^+$, where $G_{ev}$ is the even subsupergroup of $G$, and $U^-$, $U^+$ are appropriate odd unipotent subsupergroups of $G$.…

A simple \(P_\lambda\)-point on a regular cardinal \(\kappa\) is a uniform ultrafilter on \(\kappa\) with a mod-bounded decreasing generating sequence of length \(\lambda\). We prove that if there is a simple $P_\lambda$-point ultrafilter…

A set X which is a subset of the Cantor set has property (s) (Marczewski (Spzilrajn)) iff for every perfect set P there exists a perfect set Q contained in P such that Q is a subset of X or Q is disjoint from X. Suppose U is a nonprincipal…

We consider, for infinite cardinals kappa and alpha <= kappa^+, the group Pi(kappa,< alpha) of sequences of integers, of length kappa, with non-zero entries in fewer than alpha positions. Our main result tells when Pi(kappa,< alpha) can be…

We characterize sums of normal ultrafilters after the Magidor iteration (product) of Prikry forcings over a discrete set of measurable cardinals. We apply this to show that the weak Ultrapower Axiom is not equivalent to the Ultrapower…

Let f:A-->B be a covering map. We say A has e filtered ends with respect to f (or B) if for some filtration {K_n} of B by compact subsets, A - f^{-1}(K_n) "eventually" has e components. The main theorem states that if Y is a (suitable) free…

We prove that the existence of a selective ultrafilter implies the existence of a countably compact Hausdorff group topology on the free Abelian group of size continuum. As a consequence, we show that the existence of a selective…
