Linear topologies on sesquilinear spaces of uncountable dimension
Perfect set theorems
We study splitting, infinitely often equal (ioe) and refining families from the descriptive point of view, i.e. we try to characterize closed, Borel or analytic such families by proving perfect set theorems. We succeed for hereditary splitting families and for analytic countably ioe families. We construct several examples of small closed ioe and refining families.
The distributivity numbers of finite products of P(ω)/fin
Generalizing [ShSp], for every n < ω we construct a ZFC-model where ℌ(n), the distributivity number of r.o., is greater than ℌ(n+1). This answers an old problem of Balcar, Pelant and Simon (see [BaPeSi]). We also show that both Laver and Miller forcings collapse the continuum to ℌ(n) for every n < ω, hence by the first result, consistently they collapse it below ℌ(n).
