Combinatorial properties of classical forcing notions

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We discuss the effect of adding a single real (for various forcing notions adding reals) on cardinal invariants associated with the continuum (like the unbounding or the dominating number or the cardinals related to measure and category on the real line). For random and Cohen forcing, this question was investigated by Cicho'n and Pawlikowski; for Hechler forcing, by Judah, Shelah and myself. We show here: (1) adding an eventually different or a localization real adjoins a Luzin set of size continuum and a mad family of size omega_1; (2) Laver and Mathias forcing collapse the dominating number to omega_1 --- consequences: (A) CON(d=omega_1 + unif(L) = unif (M) = kappa = 2^omega) for any regular uncountable kappa; (B) Two Laver or Mathias reals added iteratively always force CH (even diamond); (C) Sigma^1_4-Mathias-absoluteness implies the Sigma^1_3- Ramsey property; (3) Miller's rational perfect set forcing preserves the axiom MA(sigma-centered).
