Ultra products and asymptotical phenomenon in homotopy theory
Ultra-products are a fundamental construction in Model theory. One of their applications is as a way to construct limiting objects. This allows identifying generic phenomena in a family of mathematical objects. A renowned example is The Ax-Kochen Theorem which states the isomorphism of the ultraproducts \ProdUQp=\ProdUFp((t)) for along any non-principle ultrafilter U on the set of primes.
In the talk, I will present how to construct a homotopical version of ultraproduct - suitable to be used in modern algebraic topology and homological algebra. I will present "Ax-Kochen" type theorems in this realm.
This is joint work with Tobias Barthel and Nathaniel Stapleton.
