Properties of simple density ideals (scientific article)



Abstract: Let G consist of all functions gcolonomegao[0,infty) with g(n)oinfty and fracng(n)rightarrow0. Then for each ginG the family mathcalZg=Asubseteqomega:limnoinftyfracextcard(Acapn)g(n)=0 is an ideal associated to the notion of so-called upper density of weight g. Although those ideals have recently been extensively studied, they do not have their own name. In this paper, for Reader's convenience, we propose to call them simple density ideals. We show that there are mathfrakc many non-isomorphic (in fact even incomparable with respect to Katv{e}tov order) simple density ideals. Moreover, we prove that for a given AsubsetG with extcard(A)<mathfrakb one can construct a family of cardinality mathfrakc of pairwise incomparable (with respect to inclusion) simple density ideals which additionally are incomparable with all mathcalZg for ginA. We show that this cannot be generalized to Katv{e}tov order as the ideal mathcalZ of sets of asymptotic density zero is maximal in the sense of Katv{e}tov order among all simple density ideals. We examine how many substantially different functions g can generate the same ideal mathcalZg -- it turns out that the answer is either 1 or mathfrakc (depending on g).
