Ultrafilters Across Mathematics: International Congress Ultramath 2008: Applications of Ultrafilters and Ultraproducts in Mathematics, June 1-7, 2008, Pisa, Italy

Based on talks delivered at Ultramath 2008: Applications of Utlrafilters and Ultraproducts in Mathematics held in Pisa, Italy, the eight papers contributed to this volume explain the theorems on measure-centering ultrafilters, apply alpha-theory to stochastic differential equations, review results on the algebraic structure of Stone-Cech compactification, and describe applications of large cardinal ultrafilters in forcing. Three surveys discuss ultraproducts of first order structures, set-theoretic aspects of ultrafilters, and connections with ergodic theory and combinatorics. No index is provided.
