Abstract

We have already seen that there may exist \(2^{\mathfrak{c}}\) pairwise non-isomorphic Ramsey ultrafilters (see Proposition 14.10), that there may exist \(\mathfrak{c}\) Ramsey ultrafilters (see Proposition 23.6), and in the previous chapter we constructed a model in which there are no Ramsey ultrafilters (see Proposition 26.23). In this chapter, we conclude this issue by showing that for each cardinal κ with 0 ≤ κω 2, there is a model of ZFC in which there are exactly κ pairwise non-isomorphic Ramsey ultrafilters.
