The Feferman-Vaught theorem for reduced ideal-products.
Let be the subspace of consisting of all weak -points. It is not hard to see that is a pseudocompact space. In this paper we shall prove that this space has stronger pseudocompact properties. Indeed, it is shown that is a -pseudocompact space for all .
We continue an investigation into centered spaces, a generalization of dyadic spaces. The presence of large Cantor cubes in centered spaces is deduced from tightness considerations. It follows that for centered spaces X, πχ(X) = t(X), and if X has uncountable tightness, then t(X) = supκ : ⊂ X. The relationships between 9 popular cardinal functions for the class of centered spaces are justified. An example is constructed which shows, unlike the dyadic and polyadic properties, that the centered...
We consider the spaces called , constructed on the set of all finite sequences of natural numbers using ultrafilters to define the topology. For such spaces, we discuss continuity, homogeneity, and rigidity. We prove that is homogeneous if and only if all the ultrafilters have the same Rudin-Keisler type. We proved that a space of Louveau, and in certain cases, a space of Sirota, are homeomorphic to (i.e., for all ). It follows that for a Ramsey ultrafilter , is a topological group....
