Abstract

We study the I-ultrafilters on ω, where I is a a collection of subsets of a set X, usually ℝ or ω1. The I-ultrafilters usually contain the P-points, often as a small proper subset. We study relations between I-ultrafilters for various I, and closure of I-ultrafilters under ultrafilter sums. We consider, but do not settle, the question whether I-ultrafilters always exist.
