Let $\mathcal{E}$ be the ideal generated by the $F_\sigma$ measure zero subsets of the reals. The purpose of this survey paper is to study the cardinal characteristics (the additivity, covering number, uniformity, and cofinality) of…
In [CMRM24], it was proved that it is relatively consistent that \emph{bounding number} $\mathfrak{b}$ is smaller than the uniformity of $\mathcal{MA}$, where $\mathcal{MA}$ denotes the ideal of the meager-additive sets of $2^{\omega}$. To…
This paper provides an extensive study of the $\mathscr{I}$-Miller null ideals $M_\mathscr{I}$, $\sigma$-ideals on the Baire space parametrized by ideals $\mathscr{I}$ on countable sets. These $\sigma$-ideals are associated to the idealized…
Cicho\'n's diagram lists twelve cardinal characteristics (and the provable inequalities between them) associated with the ideals of null sets, meager sets, countable sets, and $\sigma$-compact subsets of the irrationals. It is consistent…
Let $\mathcal{SN}$ be the $\sigma$-ideal of the strong measure zero sets of reals. We present general properties of forcing notions that allow to control of the additivity of $\mathcal{SN}$ after finite support iterations. This is applied…
For a strongly inacessible cardinal $\kappa$, we investigate the relationships between the following ideals: - the ideal of meager sets in the ${<}\kappa$-box product topology - the ideal of "null" sets in the sense of [Sh:1004]…
We show that many large cardinal notions up to measurability can be characterized through the existence of certain filters for small models of set theory. This correspondence will allow us to obtain a canonical way in which to assign ideals…
We propose a reformulation of the ideal $\mathcal{N}$ of Lebesgue measure zero sets of reals modulo an ideal $J$ on $\omega$, which we denote by $\mathcal{N}_J$. In the same way, we reformulate the ideal $\mathcal{E}$ generated by…
We introduce the notion of directed scheme of ideals to characterize peculiar ideals on the reals, which comes from a formalization of the framework of Yorioka ideals for strong measure zero sets. We prove general theorems for directed…
The paper is an extensive and systematic study of cardinal invariants we call slalom numbers, describing the combinatorics of sequences of sets of natural numbers. Our general approach, based on relational systems, covers many such cardinal…
The paper establishes several inequalities between cardinal characteristics of the continuum. In particular, it is shown that the partition splitting number is not larger than the uniformity of the meagre ideal; not all sets of reals having…
Cardinal characteristics of the continuum represent the boundaries in size between the countable and the continuum with respect to certain properties of sets. They are often defined as the minimum sizes of families of reals that meet some…
In recent works by L. Drewnowski and I. Labuda and J. Mart\'inez et al., non-pathological analytic \( P \)-ideals and non-pathological \( F_\sigma \)-ideals have been characterized and studied in terms of their representations by a sequence…
Let P be the direct product of countably many copies of the additive group Z of integers. We study, from a set-theoretic point of view, those subgroups of P for which all homomorphisms to Z annihilate all but finitely many of the standard…
We examine topological spaces not distinguishing ideal pointwise and ideal $\sigma$-uniform convergence of sequences of real-valued continuous functions defined on them. For instance, we introduce a purely combinatorial cardinal…
J. Zapletal asked if all the forcing notions considered in his monograph are homogeneous. Specifically, he asked if the forcing consisting of Borel sets of $\sigma$-finite 2-dimensional Hausdorff measure in $\mathbb{R}^3$ (ordered under…
Let $\mathcal{E}$ be the $\sigma$-ideal generated by the closed measure zero sets of reals. We use an ultrafilter-extendable matrix iteration of ccc posets to force that, for $\mathcal{E}$, their associated cardinal characteristics (i.e.\…
The main result of this paper is an improvement of the upper bound on the cardinal invariant ${\mathord{\mathrm{cov}}}^{\ast}({\mathcal{Z}}_{0})$ that was discovered by Raghavan and Shelah in an earlier paper. Here ${\mathcal{Z}}_{0}$ is…
Yorioka [J. Symbolic Logic 67(4):1373-1384, 2002] introduced a class of ideals (parametrized by reals) on the Cantor space to prove that the relation between the size of the continuum and the cofinality of the strong measure zero ideal on…
For each countable ordinal $\alpha \ge 2$, the ideals $\mathsf{conv}_\alpha$ were introduced in ``Critical ideals for countable compact spaces'' (to appear in Fund. Math., see also arXiv:2503.12571) to characterize compact countable spaces…
