Abstract: | It is well known that a sum (coproduct) of a family of Priestley spaces is a compactification of their disjoint union, and that this compactification in turn can be organized into a union of pairwise disjoint order independent closed subspaces Xu, indexed by the ultrafilters u on the index set I. The nature of those subspaces Xu indexed by the free ultrafilters u is not yet fully understood.In this article we study a certain dense subset satisfying exactly those sentences in the first-order theory of partial orders which are satisfied by almost all of the Xi's. As an application we present a complete analysis of the coproduct of an increasing family of finite chains, in a sense the first non-trivial case which is not a ?ech-Stone compactification of the disjoint union I?Xi. In this case, all the Xu's with u free turn out to be isomorphic under the Continuum Hypothesis. |
