Non-trivial convergent sequence in Stone-Čech compactification of $\mathbb{N}$

The Stone-Čech compactification is compatible with finite disjoint unions: $\beta(A\sqcup B)=\beta A\sqcup \beta B$. If $X=(x_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ were a convergent sequence with limit $x\in\beta\math …

Non-idempotent ultrafilters in the Stone-Cech compactification

Let $\Gamma=\mathbb Z$, and consider the sequence of all odd numbers, viewed as a filter. Pick an ultrafilter containing this filter. Then this ultrafilter is not idempotent. The reason is simple: od …
