Abstract: Building on previous work of [BPS] we investigate sigma-closed partial orders of size continuum. We provide both an internal and external characterization of such partial orders by showing that (1) every sigma-closed partial order of size continuum has a base tree and that (2) sigma-closed forcing notions of density mathfrakc correspond exactly to regular suborders of the collapsing algebra Coll(omega1,2omega). We further study some naturally ocurring examples of such partial orders.


A partially ordered set is called \(\sigma\)-closed if every countable decreasing sequence of its elements has a lower bound. In this paper: 1) It is shown that every partially ordered set with a dense \(\sigma\)-closed subset of size continuum has a base tree; 2) The \(\sigma\)-closed forcings of size continuum as the regular subalgebras of a collapsing algebra are characterized.
