Finitely additive measures on and additive combinatorics

Zeinab Ashtab, David Fernández-Bretón

We study (bounded) finitely additive measures on the group of integers , as elements of the Banach algebra , viewed as a natural generalization o…

-Ramsey ultrafilters

José Antonio Corona-García, David José Fernández-Bretón, Ulises Ariet Ramos-García

We study -Ramsey ultrafilters, ultrafilters containing witnesses to every shift-invariant instance of Ramsey's theorem. We prove that it is consistent that there are no…

Equicontinuous mappings on finite trees

Gerardo Acosta, David Fernández-Bretón

If is a finite tree and is a map, as the Main Theorem of this paper we find eight conditions, each of which is equivalent to the fact that is…

Ends of non-metrizable manifolds: a generalized bagpipe theorem

David Fernández-Bretón, Nicholas G. Vlamis, Mathieu Baillif

We initiate the study of ends of non-metrizable manifolds and introduce the notion of short and long ends. Using the theory developed, we provide a characterization of (non-metriza…

Finiteness classes arising from Ramsey-theoretic statements in set theory without choice

Joshua Brot, Mengyang Cao, David Fernández-Bretón

We investigate infinite sets that witness the failure of certain Ramsey-theoretic statements, such as Ramsey's or (appropriately phrased) Hindman's theorem; such sets may exist if…

Generalized pathways

David J. Fernández-Bretón

We study a type of object, called a pathway (generalizing pathways in the sense of P. E. Cohen [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 74, No. 2 (1979), 318--321]), which is useful for several set…

Stable ordered union ultrafilters and

David José Fernández-Bretón

A union ultrafilter is an ultrafilter over the finite subsets of that has a base of sets of the form , where is an infinite pairwise disjoint family and $\m…

Hindman-like theorems with uncountably many colours and finite monochromatic sets

David Fernández-Bretón, Sung Hyup Lee

A particular case of the Hindman--Galvin--Glazer theorem states that, for every partition of an infinite abelian group into two cells, there will be an infinite …

Using ultrafilters to prove Ramsey-type theorems

David J. Fernández-Bretón

Ultrafilters are a tool, originating in mathematical logic and general topology, that has steadily found more and more uses in multiple areas of mathematics, such as combinatorics,…

A parametrized diamond principle and union ultrafilters

David Fernández-Bretón, Michael Hrušák

We consider a cardinal invariant closely related to Hindman's theorem. We prove that this cardinal invariant is small in the iterated Sacks perfect set forcing model, and that its…

A Characterization of the Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem in Terms of Forcing Notions

David Fernández-Bretón, Elizabeth Lauri

For certain weak versions of the Axiom of Choice (most notably, the Boolean Prime Ideal theorem), we obtain equivalent formulations in terms of partial orders, and filter-like obje…

Strong failures of higher analogs of Hindman's theorem

David Fernández-Bretón, Assaf Rinot

We show that various analogs of Hindman's Theorem fail in a strong sense when one attempts to obtain uncountable monochromatic sets: Theorem 1: There exists a colouring $c:\mathbb…

Gruff Ultrafilters

David Fernández-Bretón, Michael Hrušák

We investigate the question of whether carries an ultrafilter generated by perfect sets (such ultrafilters were called gruff ultrafilters by van Douwen). We prove that…
