Near permutation $n\mapsto n+1$ not conjugate to its inverse on the Stone-Čech remainder?

Let $\beta\omega$ be the Stone-Čech compactification of the discrete infinite countable space $\omega$, and $\beta^*\omega=\beta\omega\smallsetminus \omega$ is the Stone-Čech remainder. The map $j:n\...

Elementary equivalence between $n\mapsto n+1$ and its inverse on the Stone-Čech remainder?

Consider structures $(A,f)$ encoding a Boolean algebra $A$ endowed with an automorphism $f$. There is an obvious notion of isomorphism between such structures. Consider the endomorphism $\hat{\Phi}$ ...

How much do idempotent ultrafilters generate in terms of semigroups?

It is known that the set of ultrafilters on, say, the natural numbers $\mathbb{N}$, can naturally be endowed with the structure of a compact topological left semigroup (which fails to be anything ...

Is each Parovichenko compact space homeomorphic to the remainder of a soft compactification of $\mathbb N$?

Definition 1. A compactification $c\mathbb N$ of the discrete space $\mathbb N$ is called soft if for any disjoint sets $A,B\subset\mathbb N$ with $\bar A\cap\bar B\ne\emptyset$ there exists a ...
