Abstract: We give several topological/combinatorial conditions that, for a filter on omega, are equivalent to being a non-meager mathsfP-filter. In particular, we show that a filter is countable dense homogeneous if and only if it is a non-meager mathsfP-filter. Here, we identify a filter with a subspace of 2omega through characteristic functions. Along the way, we generalize to non-meager mathsfP-filters a result of Miller about mathsfP-points, and we employ and give a new proof of results of Marciszewski. We also employ a theorem of Hern'andez-Guti'errez and Hruv{s}'ak, and answer two questions that they posed. Our result also resolves several issues raised by Medini and Milovich, and proves false one "theorem" of theirs. Furthermore, we show that the statement "Every non-meager filter contains a non-meager mathsfP-subfilter" is independent of mathsfZFC (more precisely, it is a consequence of mathfraku<mathfrakg and its negation is a consequence of Diamond). It follows from results of Hruv{s}'ak and van Mill that, under mathfraku<mathfrakg, a filter has less than mathfrakc types of countable dense subsets if and only if it is a non-meager mathsfP-filter. In particular, under mathfraku<mathfrakg, there exists an ultrafilter with mathfrakc types of countable dense subsets. We also show that such an ultrafilter exists under mathsfMA(countable).
