We prove that every maximal cofinitary group has size at least the cardinality of the smallest non-meager set of reals. We also provide a consistency result saying that the spectrum of possible cardinalities of maximal cofinitary groups may be quite arbitrary.
We continue the investigation of the Laver ideal ℓ0 and Miller ideal m0 started in [GJSp] and [GRShSp]; these are the ideals on the Baire space associated with Laver forcing and Miller forcing. We solve several open problems from these papers. The main result is the construction of models for t < add(ℓ0), < add(m0), where add denotes the additivity coefficient of an ideal. For this we construct amoeba forcings for these forcings which do not add Cohen reals. We show that = ω2 implies add(m0) ≤ . We show that , implies cov(ℓ0) ≤ +, cov(m0) ≤ + respectively. Here cov denotes the covering coefficient. We also show that in the Cohen model cov(m0) < holds. Finally we prove that Cohen forcing does not add a superperfect tree of Cohen reals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
