With every $\sigma$-ideal $I$ on a Polish space we associate the $\sigma$-ideal $I^*$ generated by the closed sets in $I$. We study the forcing notions of Borel sets modulo the respective $\sigma$-ideals $I$ and $I^*$ and find connections…
The following will be shown: Let $I$ be a $\sigma$-ideal on a Polish space $X$ with the property that the associated forcing of $I^+$ Borel subsets ordered by $\subseteq$ is a proper forcing. Let E be an analytic or coanalytic equivalence…
Let I be a sigma-ideal sigma-generated by a projective collection of closed sets. The forcing with I-positive Borel sets is proper and adds a single real r of an almost minimal degree: if s is a real in V[r] then s is Cohen generic over V…
Given a Polish space X and a countable family of analytic hypergraphs on X, I consider the sigma-ideal generated by Borel sets which are anticliques in at least one hypergraph in the family. It turns out that many of the quotient posets are…
We propose a new, game-theoretic, approach to the idealized forcing, in terms of fusion games. This generalizes the classical approach to the Sacks and the Miller forcing. For definable ($\mathbf{\Pi}^1_1$ on $\mathbf{\Sigma}^1_1)…
The Steprans forcing notion arises as a quotient of Borel sets modulo the ideal of $\sigma$-continuity of a certain Borel not $\sigma$-continuous function. We give a characterization of this forcing in the language of trees and using this…
We prove a number of results about countable Borel equivalence relations with forcing constructions and arguments. These results reveal hidden regularity properties of Borel complete sections on certain orbits. As consequences they imply…
The aim of this short note is to communicate a simple solution to the problem posed in [1] as Question 7.2.7: is it true that for every ccc $\sigma$-ideal I any I-positive Borel set contains modulo I an I-positive closed set?
We construct the space of valuations on a quasi-Polish space in terms of the characterization of quasi-Polish spaces as spaces of ideals of a countable transitive relation. Our construction is closely related to domain theoretical work on…
Let \alpha be a countable ordinal and \P(\alpha) the collection of its subsets isomorphic to \alpha. We show that the separative quotient of the set \P (\alpha) ordered by the inclusion is isomorphic to a forcing product of iterated reduced…
We investigate the partial orderings of the form (P(X),\subset), where X is a relational structure and P(X) the set of the domains of its isomorphic substructures. A rough classification of countable binary structures corresponding to the…
We prove that the existence of a Borel lower density operator (a Borel lifting) with respect to the $\sigma$-ideal of countable sets, for an uncountable Polish space, is equivalent to the Continuum Hypothesis.
The aim of these lectures is to give a short introduction to forcing. We will avoid metamathematical issues as much as possible and similarly we will avoid performing the actual construction of forcing. We assume familiarity with basic…
Measurability with respect to ideals is tightly connected with absoluteness principles for certain forcing notions. We study a uniformization principle that postulates the existence of a uniformizing function on a large set, relative to a…
Following the topic of the book Canonical Ramsey Theory on Polish Spaces by V. Kanovei, M. Sabok and J. Zapletal we study Borel equivalences on Laver trees. Here we prove that equivalence relations Borel reducible to an equivalence relation…
We use countable metric spaces to code Polish metric spaces and evaluate the complexity of some statements about these codes and of some relations that can be determined by the codes. Also, we propose a coding for continuous functions…
We show some basic results on the characterization of quasi-Polish spaces in terms of spaces of ideals, with an emphasis on the connections with computable topology.
For a relational structure ${\mathbb X}$ we investigate the partial order $\langle {\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}) ,\subset \rangle$, where ${\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}):=\{ f[X]: f\in \mathop{\rm Emb}\nolimits ({\mathbb X})\}$. Here we consider…
The main result of this paper is a partial answer to [math.LO/9909115, Problem 5.5]: a finite iteration of Universal Meager forcing notions adds generic filters for many forcing notions determined by universality parameters. We also give…
We consider polynomials with integer coefficients and discuss their factorization properties in Z[[x]], the ring of formal power series over Z. We treat polynomials of arbitrary degree and give sufficient conditions for their reducibility…
