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…
A divisibility relation on ultrafilters on the set $\mathbb{N}$ of natural numbers is defined as follows: ${\cal F}\hspace{1mm}\widetilde{\mid}\hspace{1mm}{\cal G}$ if and only if every set in $\cal F$ upward closed for divisibility also…
A divisibility relation on ultrafilters is defined as follows: ${\cal F}\hspace{1mm}\widetilde{\mid}\hspace{1mm}{\cal G}$ if and only if every set in $\cal F$ upward closed for divisibility also belongs to $\cal G$. After describing the…
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.…
Given an ordered structure, we study a natural way to extend the order to preorders on type spaces. For definably complete, linearly ordered structures, we give a characterisation of the preorder on the space of 1-types. We apply these…
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…
The paper first covers several properties of the extension of the divisibility relation to a set ${}^*\hspace{-0.5mm}N$ of nonstandard integers. After that, a connection is established with the divisibility in the Stone-\v{C}ech…
We continue the research of the relation $\hspace{1mm}\widetilde{\mid}\hspace{1mm}$ on the set $\beta {\mathbb{N}}$ of ultrafilters on ${\mathbb{N}}$, defined as an extension of the divisibility relation. It is a quasiorder, so we see it as…
To work more accurately with elements of the semigroup of the Stone Cech compactification of the discrete semigroup of natural numbers N under multiplication. We divided these elements into ultrafilters which are on finite levels and…
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…
For ultrafilters u,v on N, the operation u/v is introduced and formalised which acts as quotient-like structures when v strongly divides u.Central to our study is the characterization of self-divisible ultrafilters in connection with the…
An earlier paper, entitled "P-hierarchy on $\beta\omega$", investigated the relations between ordinal ultrafilters and the so-called P-hierarchy. This study is continued in the present paper and focuses on the aspects of characterization of…
We define separating properties for normal ultrafilters. We prove that compactness and supercompactness are separable, yet compactness and measurability are not. We describe how to use separating properties in order to elicit distinct…
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…
A set A of natural numbers is finitely embeddable in another such set B if every finite subset of A has a rightward translate that is a subset of B. This notion of finite embeddability arose in combinatorial number theory, but in this paper…
After defining continuous extensions of binary relations on the set N of natural numbers to its Stone-Cech compactification \beta N, we establish some results about one of such extensions. This provides us with one possible divisibility…
We survey some recent results about the order structure of various kinds of ultrafilters. More precisely, we study Rudin-Keisler and Tukey reducibility in classes of selective, stable ordered-union, and P-point ultrafilters. Although these…
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…
It is proved to be consistent relative to a measurable cardinal that there is a uniform ultrafilter on the real numbers which is generated by fewer than the maximum possible number of sets. It is also shown to be consistent relative to a…
We characterize ultrafilter convergence and ultrafilter compactness in linearly ordered and generalized ordered topological spaces. In such spaces, and for every ultrafilter $D$, the notions of $D$-compactness and of $D$-pseudocompactness…
