We present some new results on union ultrafilters. We characterize stability for union ultrafilters and, as the main result, we construct a new kind of unordered union ultrafilter.
We present some new results on strongly summable ultrafilters. As the main result, we extend a theorem by N. Hindman and D. Strauss on writing strongly summable ultrafilters as sums.
This short note contains the proofs of two small but somewhat surprising results about ultrafilters on N: 1. strongly summable ultrafilters are rapid, 2. every rapid ultrafilter induces a closed left ideal of rapid ultrafilters. As a consequence, there will be rapid minimal idempotents in all models of set theory with rapid ultrafilters.The history of this result has been published as an experiment in mathematical writing on the author's website [Kra121], [Kra122] where you can can also find additional remarks by Andreas R. Blass and Neil Hindman, offering a form of peer-review.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
