Some cardinal characteristics and the Stone-Cech remainder of the reals
by
Andreas Blass
Mathematics Dept., Univ. of Michigan

I plan to discuss some recent work on cardinal characteristics of the continuum, mostly by Heike Mildenberger and me (partly joint, partly disjoint). A prominent role is played by the cofinality of the dominating number and by near coherence of ultrafilters. I shall also describe a connection between this work and the remainder in the Stone-Cech compactification of the reals.
