Point set topological methods are seeing a revivial in a very unexpected place:number theory. The use of ultrafilter methods as well as "tailored" topologies on the integers to produce topological proofs of number theoretic results-pioneered by Kevin Broughan and being pursued by Melvyn Nathanson,myself and several others-are causing a renewed interest in point set methods among number theorists lately.
