§0. Introduction. We started our study of filters of partitions in [15]. We shall here restrict ourselves to the consideration of filters on (ω)ω, the set of all infinite partitions of ω. §1 is an attempt to elucidate the connection between filters on (ω)ω and filters over ω. Given a filter H over ω, we define two filters FH and GH on (ω)ω, and we characterize p-points, rare ultrafilters and Ramsey ultrafilters in terms of properties of the associated filters of partitions.

The remainder of the paper is devoted to the study of those filters that can be associated with Hindman's theorem and its extensions. Let us introduce some notation. Suppose * is an associative operation on ω, and let a subset A of ω and an ordinal α with 0 < α ≤ ω be given.
