Some remarks on selectors
Suppose κ is a supercompact cardinal and λ≥κ. In [3], we studied the relationship between the weak partition property and the partition property for normal ultrafilters on . In this paper we study a hierarchy of properties intermediate between the weak partition property and the partition property. Given appropriate large cardinal assumptions, we show that these properties are not all equivalent.
For a regular uncountable cardinal κ and a cardinal λ with cf(λ) < κ < λ, we investigate the consistency strength of the existence of a stationary set in which cannot be split into λ⁺ many pairwise disjoint stationary subsets. To do this, we introduce a new notion for ideals, which is a variation of normality of ideals. We also prove that there is a stationary set S in such that every stationary subset of S can be split into λ⁺ many pairwise disjoint stationary subsets.
The authors give a ZFC example for a space with but not .
We show that ω₁-Universally Baire self-justifying systems are fully Universally Baire under the Weak Stationary Reflection Principle for Pairs. This involves analyzing the notion of a weakly captured set of reals, a weakening of the Universal Baire Property.
Let W be an inner model of ZFC. Let κ be a cardinal in V. We say that κ-covering holds between V and W iff for all X ∈ V with X ⊆ ON and V ⊨ |X| < κ, there exists Y ∈ W such that X ⊆ Y ⊆ ON and V ⊨ |Y| < κ. Strong κ-covering holds between V and W iff for every structure M ∈ V for some countable first-order language whose underlying set is some ordinal λ, and every X ∈ V with X ⊆ λ and V ⊨ |X| < κ, there is Y ∈ W such that X ⊆ Y ≺ M and V ⊨ |Y| < κ. We prove that if κ is V-regular,...
It is shown that measure extension axioms imply various forms of the Fubini theorem for nonmeasurable sets and functions in Radon measure spaces.
Let I and J be σ-ideals on Polish spaces X and Y, respectively. We say that the pair ⟨I,J⟩ has the Strong Fubini Property (SFP) if for every set D ⊆ X× Y with measurable sections, if all its sections are in J, then the sections are in I for every y outside a set from J (“measurable" means being a member of the σ-algebra of Borel sets modulo sets from the respective σ-ideal). We study the question of which pairs of σ-ideals have the Strong Fubini Property. Since CH excludes this phenomenon completely,...
We analyze several “strong meager” properties for filters on the natural numbers between the classical Baire property and a filter being . Two such properties have been studied by Talagrand and a few more combinatorial ones are investigated. In particular, we define the notion of a P⁺-filter, a generalization of the traditional concept of P-filter, and prove the existence of a non-meager P⁺-filter. Our motivation lies in understanding the structure of filters generated by complements of members...
We develop a theory of sharp measure zero sets that parallels Borel’s strong measure zero, and prove a theorem analogous to Galvin–Mycielski–Solovay theorem, namely that a set of reals has sharp measure zero if and only if it is meager-additive. Some consequences: A subset of is meager-additive if and only if it is -additive; if is continuous and is meager-additive, then so is .
In §1 we define some properties of ideals by using games. These properties strengthen precipitousness. We call these stronger ideals. In §2 we show some limitations on the existence of such ideals over . We also present a consistency result concerning the existence of such ideals over . In §3 we show that such ideals satisfy stronger normality. We show a cardinal arithmetical consequence of the existence of strongly normal ideals. In § 4 we study some “large cardinal-like” consequences of stronger...
The relations M(κ,λ,μ) → B [resp. B(σ)] meaning that if with |A|=κ is μ-almost disjoint then A has property B [resp. has a σ-transversal] had been introduced and studied under GCH in [EH]. Our two main results here say the following: Assume GCH and let ϱ be any regular cardinal with a supercompact [resp. 2-huge] cardinal above ϱ. Then there is a ϱ-closed forcing P such that, in , we have both GCH and [resp. for all . These show that, consistently, the results of [EH] are sharp. The necessity...
