The Katětov ordering of two maximal almost disjoint (MAD) families $𝒜$ and $ℬ$ is defined as follows: We say that $𝒜{\le }_Kℬ$ if there is a function $f:\omega \to \omega$ such that $f^{-1}\left(A\right)\in ℐ\left(ℬ\right)$ for every $A\in ℐ\left(𝒜\right)$. In [Garcia-Ferreira S., Hrušák M., Ordering MAD families a la Katětov, J. Symbolic Logic 68 (2003), 1337–1353] a MAD family is called $K$-uniform if for every $X\in ℐ{\left(𝒜\right)}^{+}$, we have that ${𝒜|}_X{\le }_K𝒜$. We prove that CH implies that for every $K$-uniform MAD family $𝒜$ there is a $P$-point $p$ of ${\omega }^{*}$ such that the set of all Rudin-Keisler predecessors of $p$ is dense in the...

We consider the question of when $X_M=X$, where $X_M$ is the elementary submodel topology on X ∩ M, especially in the case when $X_M$ is compact.
