These “points at infinity” that live in the nonstandard part tend to embody the uniform behavior of the numbers from the standard part. (For example, by compactness, the twin prime conjecture is true if and only if in some nonstandard model of arithmetic there exists just a single pair of nonstandard twin primes, and similarly Dirichlet’s theorem on arithmetic progressions can be reformulated as saying that for every coprime positive pair of numbers and there exists just one nonstandard prime congruent to modulo .) A nonstandard model of arithmetic is a proper elementary...
