Ideal independence, free sequences, and the ultrafilter number

Kevin Selker (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We make use of a forcing technique for extending Boolean algebras. The same type of forcing was employed in Baumgartner J.E., Komjáth P., Boolean algebras in which every chain and antichain is countable, Fund. Math. 111 (1981), 125–133, Koszmider P., Forcing minimal extensions of Boolean algebras, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 351 (1999), no. 8, 3073–3117, and elsewhere. Using and modifying a lemma of Koszmider, and using CH, we obtain an atomless BA, A such that 𝔣 ( A ) = s mm ( A ) < 𝔲 ( A ) , answering questions raised by Monk...

Invariance groups of finite functions and orbit equivalence of permutation groups

Which subgroups of the symmetric group Sn arise as invariance groups of n-variable functions defined on a k-element domain? It appears that the higher the difference n-k, the more difficult it is to answer this question. For k ≤ n, the answer is easy: all subgroups of Sn are invariance groups. We give a complete answer in the cases k = n-1 and k = n-2, and we also give a partial answer in the general case: we describe invariance groups when n is much larger than n-k. The proof utilizes Galois connections...
