Abstract: For a free ultrafilter $\mathcal{U}$ on $\omega $ we study several cardinal characteristics which describe part of the combinatorial structure of $\,\mathcal{U}$. We provide various consistency results; e.g. we show how to force simultaneously many characters and many $\pi $-characters. We also investigate two ideals on the Baire space $\omega ^{\omega }$ naturally related to $\mathcal{U}$ and calculate cardinal coefficients of these ideals in terms of cardinal characteristics of the underlying ultrafilter.
