Partitions and conservativity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the partition properties enjoyed by the "next best thing to a P-point ultrafilters introduced recently in joint work with Dobrinen and Raghavan. That work established some finite-exponent partition relations, and we now analyze the connections between these relations for different exponents and the notion of conservativity introduced much earlier by Phillips. In addition, we establish some infinite-exponent partition relations for these ultrafilters and also for sums of non-isomorphic selective ultrafilters indexed by selective ultrafilters.


The paper is a~continuation of the paper [the author et al., J. Symb. Log. 80, No. 3, 866--900 (2015; Zbl 1367.03078)]. It includes an analysis of the implications between the combinatorial properties of ultrafilters created by certain forcing constructions studied in the previous paper but indepedently from the connection with generic ultrafilters. This analysis includes finite-exponent partition relations for different exponents and a~notion of conservativity introduced in [\textit{R. G. Phillips}, Lect. Notes Math. 369, 195--202 (1974; Zbl 0278.02043)] and is connected with the model-theoretic notion of stability. The other part of the paper concerns infinitary partition properties of the mentioned generic ultrafilters and sums of non-isomorphic selective ultrafilters indexed by selective ultrafilters that lead to so-called complete combinatorics.
