Extract

Keisler, in [1], defined a set F(D) of infinite cardinals for every ultrafilter D on a set I, and, assuming GCH, gave a sufficient condition for a set C of infinite cardinals to have the form F(D) for suitable D and I. In this paper we prove a similar theorem (Theorem 1) under considerably weaker assumptions. Our main tool is a construction of elementary end extensions of Boolean ultrapowers of ω outlined by Shelah in [6, Exercise VI.3.35]. Hence this paper will mostly be concerned with Boolean ultrapowers of ω.
