Abstract

It is known (see [1, 3.1.5]) that the order type of the nonstandard natural number system *N has the form ω + (ω* + ω) θ, where θ is a dense order type without first or last element and ω is the order type of N. Concerning this, Zakon [2] examined *N more closely and investigated the nonstandard real number system *R, as an ordered set, as an additive group and as a uniform space. He raised five questions which remained unsolved. These questions are concerned with the cofinality and coinitiality of θ (which depend on the underlying nonstandard universe *U). In this paper, we shall treat nonstandard models where the cofinality and coinitiality of θ coincide with some appropriated cardinals. Using these nonstandard models, we shall give answers to three of these questions and partial answers to the other to questions in [2].
