Relationships Among Ideals
If I and J are ideals on X and Y respectively, I and J are Rudin–Keisler isomorphic if they are the same ideal except for renaming of the elements of their underlying sets (ignoring negligible sets). More formally, the requirement is that there be sets A and B, elements of I and J respectively, and a bijection φ : X \ A → Y \ B, such that for any subset C of X, C is in I if and only if the image of C under φ is in J.
If I and J are Rudin–Keisler isomorphic, then P(X) / I and P(Y) / J are isomorphic as Boolean algebras. Isomorphisms of quotient Boolean algebras induced by Rudin–Keisler isomorphisms of ideals are called trivial isomorphisms.

Famous quotes containing the word ideals:
“A philistine is a full-grown person whose interests are of a material and commonplace nature, and whose mentality is formed of the stock ideas and conventional ideals of his or her group and time.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
