Strongly meager sets of size continuum

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We construct several models where there are no strongly meager sets of size continuum. In particular, there are no such sets in the Laver's model.


Let \(\mathcal N\) denote the ideal of null sets in the space \(2^{\omega}\), and \({\mathcal {SM}}\) denote the collection of all strongly meager sets in \(2^{\omega}\), i.e., all \(X\subset 2^{\omega}\), such that \(X+H\neq 2^{\omega}\) for every \(H\in {\mathcal N}\). The following results are proved in the paper: (1) There are no \({\mathcal {SM}}\) sets of size continuum in Laver's or Miller's model. (2) If cov\(({\mathcal N})=2^{\aleph_0}\) then every set of size less than continuum is \({\mathcal {SM}}\) and there are \({\mathcal {SM}}\) sets of size continuum. (3) It is consistent with ZFC that cov\(({\mathcal N})<2^{\aleph_0}\) and there exist \({{\mathcal {SM}}}\) sets of size continuum.
