    Ultrafilter convergence in ordered topological spaces

    Full text link
    We characterize ultrafilter convergence and ultrafilter compactness in linearly ordered and generalized ordered topological spaces. In such spaces, and for every ultrafilter DD, the notions of DD-compactness and of DD-pseudocompactness are equivalent. Any product of initially λ\lambda-compact generalized ordered topological spaces is still initially λ\lambda-compact. On the other hand, preservation under products of certain compactness properties are independent from the usual axioms for set theory.Comment: v. 2: some additions and some improvement

    Compactness of powers of \omega

    Full text link
    We characterize exactly the compactness properties of the product of \kappa\ copies of the space \omega\ with the discrete topology. The characterization involves uniform ultrafilters, infinitary languages, and the existence of nonstandard elements in elementary estensions. We also have results involving products of possibly uncountable regular cardinals.Comment: v2 slightly improve
