Feb 2, 2010 at 19:24 comment added Gerald Edgar Perhaps not an ultrafilter. For example the evens and the odds could both have nonzero values. But it is true that such a thing cannot be proved to exist (in ZF). Hahn-Banach should be enough, though, which is strictly weaker than Axiom of Choice.
Feb 2, 2010 at 18:38 comment added Martin Brandenburg interesting, perhaps. what do you think?
Feb 2, 2010 at 18:23 comment added Qiaochu Yuan Wouldn't such a homomorphism allow you to construct a non-principal ultrafilter on N?
Feb 2, 2010 at 16:46 comment added Martin Brandenburg the rules are simple: if you are a logician and can prove that in some formal sense this hom. cannot be written down, feel free indicate a proof. if you can write something down in an informal sense, please let me know. otherwise, nothing has to be said.

Feb 2, 2010 at 16:07 comment added S. Carnahan I think a logician can say this better than I can, but the precise meaning of "writing something down" seems to be at the center of your question. Therefore, it is strange to me that you don't want a discussion about mathematical logic here.
Feb 2, 2010 at 15:59 comment added Martin Brandenburg no this is not imposed
Feb 2, 2010 at 15:51 comment added S. Carnahan Are you demanding that the homomorphism agree with limits when they exist? In that case, the kernel contains not only finite sequences, but those with infinite support that converge to zero.
