Less than 2^ωmany translates of a compact nullset may cover the real line

Abstract: We answer a question of Darji and Keleti by proving that there exists a compact set

C_{0} s u b s e t R R

of measure zero such that for every perfect set

P s u b s e t R R

there exists

x i n R R

such that

(C_{0} + x) c a p P

is uncountable. Using this

C_{0}

we answer a question of Gruenhage by showing that it is consistent with

Z F C

(as it follows e.g. from

e x t r m c o f (i N) < 2^{o} m e g a

) that less than

2^{o} m e g a

many translates of a compact set of measure zero can cover

R R

.
