Definition:Ultrafilter on Set/Definition 2

Definition
Let $S$ be a set.

Let $\mathcal F \subseteq \mathcal P \left({S}\right)$ be a filter on $S$.

Then $\mathcal F$ is an ultrafilter (on $S$) :
 * for every $A \subseteq S$ and $B \subseteq S$ such that $A \cap B = \varnothing$ and $A \cup B \in \mathcal F$, either $A \in \mathcal F$ or $B \in \mathcal F$.
