Extract

In this paper we continue our study, begun in [5], of the connection between ultraproducts and saturated structures. If D is an ultrafilter over a set I, and is a structure (i.e., a model for a first order predicate logic ℒ), the ultrapower of modulo D is denoted by D-prod. The ultrapower is important because it is a method of constructing structures which are elementarily equivalent to a given structure (see Frayne-Morel-Scott [3]). Our ultimate aim is to find out what kinds of structure are ultrapowers of . We made a beginning in [5] by proving that, assuming the generalized continuum hypothesis (GCH), for each cardinal α there is an ultrafilter D over a set of power α such that for all structures , D-prod is α+-saturated.
