Abstract: We use Shelah's theory of possible cofinalities in order to solve a problem about ultrafilters. THEOREM. Suppose that $lambda$ is a singular cardinal, $lambd{a}^{\prime }<lambda$, and the ultrafilter $D$ is $kappa$-decomposable for all regular cardinals $kappa$ with $lambd{a}^{\prime }<kappa<lambda$. Then $D$ is either $lambda$-decomposable, or $lambd{a}^{+}$-decomposable. We give applications to topological spaces and to abstract logics.
