Ultrafilters on -spaces
For a discrete group and a discrete -space , we identify the
Stone-\v{C}ech compactifications and with the sets of all
ultrafilters on and , and apply the natural action of on
to characterize large, thick, thin, sparse and scattered subsets of
. We use -invariant partitions and colorings to define -selective and
-Ramsey ultrafilters on . We show that, in contrast to the
set-theoretical case, these two classes of ultrafilters are distinct. We
consider also universally thin ultrafilters on , the -points, and
study interrelations between these ultrafilters and some classical ultrafilters
on
