We discuss the possible cofinalities of ⊆ *-chains in ℕ which are ⊆ *-unbounded in their topological closures.
1. The problem. Throughout this paper, the power set ℕ of the set ℕ of natural numbers will be given its usual compact metrizable topology corresponding to the product topology of {0,1}N. We say that a ⊆ * b if a/b is finite.
