Abstract

A subset of a Polish space XX is called universally small if it belongs to each ccc σ\sigma-ideal with Borel base on XX. Under CH in each uncountable Abelian Polish group GG we construct a universally small subset A0GA_0\subset G such that A0gA0=c|A_0\cap gA_0|=\mathfrak c for each gGg\in G. For each cardinal number κ[5,c+]\kappa\in[5,\mathfrak c^+] the set A0A_0 contains a universally small subset AA of GG with sharp packing index \pack(Aκ)=sup{D+:D{gA}gG\pack^\sharp(A_\kappa)=\sup\{|\mathcal D|^+:\mathcal D\subset \{gA\}_{g\in G} is disjoint}\} equal to κ\kappa.
