Preservation of some topological properties under forcing

Logic 2026-01-13 v1

Abstract

We add to the theory of preservation of topological properties under forcing. In particular, we answer a question of Gilton and Holshouser in a strong sense, showing that if player II has a winning strategy in the strong countable fan tightness game of a space at a point, then this continues to hold in every set forcing extension of the universe. The same is also true for the Rothberger game, but not for the countable fan tightness or Menger games.
