Ultrafilter Spaces on the Semilattice of Partitions

چکیده
The Stone-Čech compactification of the natural numbers βω (or equivalently, the space of ultrafilters on the subsets of ω) is a well-studied space with interesting properties. Replacing the subsets of ω by partitions of ω in the construction of the ultrafilter space gives non-homeomorphic spaces of partition ultrafilters corresponding to βω. We develop a general framework for spaces of this type and show that the spaces of partition ultrafilters still have some of the nice properties of βω, even though none of them is homeomorphic to βω. Further, in a particular space, the minimal height of a tree π-base and P -points are investigated.

Embedding measure spaces
For a given measure space $(X,{mathscr B},mu)$ we construct all measure spaces $(Y,{mathscr C},lambda)$ in which $(X,{mathscr B},mu)$ is embeddable. The construction is modeled on the ultrafilter construction of the Stone--v{C}ech compactification of a completely regular topological space. Under certain conditions the construction simplifies. Examples are given when this simplification o...
متن کاملSober Spaces, Well-Filtration and Compactness Principles
We investigate various notions of sobriety for topological spaces that are equivalent in ZF set theory with the Axiom of Choice but may differ in the absence of choice principles. The Ultrafilter Principle UP (alias Prime Ideal Theorem) suffices for the desired conclusions. We derive from UP three topological postulates and prove their equivalence in ZF without choice: the Well-Filtration Princ...
متن کاملThe Ultrafilter Closure in ZF
It is well known that, in a topological space, the open sets can be characterized using filter convergence. In ZF (Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without the Axiom of Choice), we cannot replace filters by ultrafilters. It is proven that the ultrafilter convergence determines the open sets for every topological space if and only if the Ultrafilter Theorem holds. More, we can also prove that the Ult...
