Motivated by a question of Isbell, we show that Jensen's Diamond Principle implies there is a non-P-point ultrafilter U on omega such that U, whether ordered by reverse inclusion or reverse inclusion mod finite, is not Tukey equivalent to…

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…

We continue the study of the Galvin property from \cite{bgs} and \cite{Benhamou2}. In particular, we deepen the connection between certain diamond-like principles and non-Galvin ultrafilters. We also show that any Dodd sound non p-point…

We continue the study of the pseudo-intersection property with respect to an ideal introduced in \cite{TomNatasha2}. Our theory applies to the study of the Tukey types of general sums of ultrafilters, which, as evidenced by the results of…

We improve Galvin's Theorem for ultrafilters which are p-point limits of p-points. This implies that in all the canonical inner models up to a superstrong cardinal, every $\kappa$-complete ultrafilter over a measurable cardinal $\kappa$…

Using the property of being completely Baire, countable dense homogeneity and the perfect set property we will be able, under Martin's Axiom for countable posets, to distinguish non-principal ultrafilters on $\omega$ up to homeomorphism.…

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 extend the class of ultrafilters $U$ over countable sets for which $U\cdot U\equiv_T U$, extending several results from \cite{Dobrinen/Todorcevic11}. In particular, we prove that for each countable ordinal $\alpha\geq 2$, the generic…

We investigate the question of whether $\mathbb Q$ carries an ultrafilter generated by perfect sets (such ultrafilters were called gruff ultrafilters by van Douwen). We prove that one can (consistently) obtain an affirmative answer to this…

We introduce a new class of ultrafilters which generalizes the well-known class of simple $P$-point ultrafilters. We prove that for any well-founded $\sigma$-directed partial order $\mathbb{D}$ there is a mild forcing extension where there…

We study ultrafilters on $\omega^2$ produced by forcing with the quotient of $\scr P(\omega^2)$ by the Fubini square of the Fr\'echet filter on $\omega$. We show that such an ultrafilter is a weak P-point but not a P-point and that the only…

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…

We isolate \emph{the approximating diamond principles}, which are consequences of the diamond principle at an inaccessible cardinal. We use these principles to find new methods for negating the diamond principle at large cardinals. Most…

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 give two results on guessing unbounded subsets of lambda^+. The first is a positive result and applies to the situation of lambda regular and at least equal to aleph_3, while the second is a negative consistency result which applies to…

We introduce a new parametrized diamond principle denoted $\diamondsuit(\mathsf{LP})$. This principle is akin to the parametrized diamonds of Moore, Hru\v{s}\'ak, and D\v{z}amonja, each of which corresponds to some cardinal invariant of the…

We prove that for regular $\lambda$ above a strong limit singular $\mu$ certain guessing principles follow just from cardinal arithmetic assumptions. The main result is that for such $\lambda$ and $\mu$ there are coboundedly many regular…

We characterize the Tukey order, the Galvin property/ Cohesive ultrafilters from \cite{Kanamori1978} in terms of ultrapowers. We use this characterization to measure the distance between the Tukey order and other well-known orders of…

We study the definability of ultrafilter bases on $\omega$ in the sense of descriptive set theory. As a main result we show that there is no coanalytic base for a Ramsey ultrafilter, while in $L$ we can construct $\Pi^1_1$ P-point and…

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,…
