Indestructibility of ideals and MAD families (Q2660152)

This very nice article surveys the recent body of work devoted to forcing indestructibility of ideals and maximal almost disjoint families. Recall that a tall ideal is \emph{indestructible} by a forcing notion \(\mathbb P\) if it remains tall in any generic extension by \(\mathbb P\). Analogously, a MAD family is \emph{indestructible} by \(\mathbb P\) if it remains maximal or, equivalently, if the ideal generated by the family is indestructible by \(\mathbb P\). The article is clearly written, contains proofs of several of the most important results, a list of the outstanding open questions, and an extensive bibliography. We recommend it to anyone interested in forcing aspects of set-theory of the reals.
