Hechler and Laver Trees
From MaRDI portal

Abstract: A Laver tree is a tree in which each node splits infinitely often. A Hechler tree is a tree in which each node splits cofinitely often. We show that every analytic set is either disjoint from the branches of a Heckler tree or contains the branches of a Laver tree. As a corollary we deduce Silver Theorem that all analytic sets are Ramsey. We show that in Godel's constructible universe that our result is false for co-analytic sets (equivalently it fails for analytic sets if we switch Hechler and Laver). We show that under Martin's axiom that our result holds for Sigma^1_2 sets. Finally we define two games related to this property.
