In this work we consider the ideals $m^0(\mathcal{I})$ and $\ell^0(\mathcal{I})$, ideals generated by the $\mathcal{I}$-positive Miller trees and $\mathcal{I}$-positive Laver trees, respectively. We investigate in which cases these ideals…
We show that the cofinalities of both the Miller ideal m^0 (the sigma-ideal naturally related to Miller forcing) and the Laver ideal ell^0 (related to Laver forcing) are larger than the size of the continuum in ZFC.
We discuss the effect of adding a single real (for various forcing notions adding reals) on cardinal invariants associated with the continuum (like the unbounding or the dominating number or the cardinals related to measure and category on…
We study variants of classical Laver forcing defined from co-ideals and analyze their combinatorial properties in terms of the Kat\v{e}tov order. In particular, we give a Kat\v{e}tov-theoretic characterization of when Laver forcing…
We consider ideals $d^0(\mathcal{V})$ which are generalizations of the ideal $(v^0)$. We formulate couterparts of Hadamard's theorem. Then, adopting the base tree theorem and applying Kulpa-Szyma\'nski Theorem, we obtain $…
With each of the usual tree forcings I (e.g., I = Sacks forcing S, Laver forcing L, Miller forcing M, Mathias forcing R, etc.) we associate a sigma--ideal i^0 on the reals as follows: A \in i^0 iff for all T \in I there is S \leq T (i.e. S…
Assuming the P-ideal dichotomy, we attempt to isolate those cardinal characteristics of the continuum that are correlated with two well-known consequences of the proper forcing axiom. We find a cardinal invariant $\mathfrak{x}$ such that…
It is well known to generalize the meagre ideal replacing aleph_0 by a (regular) cardinal lambda > aleph_0 and requiring the ideal to be lambda^+-complete. But can we generalize the null ideal? In terms of forcing, this means finding a…
We investigate two variants of splitting tree forcing, their ideals and regularity properties. We prove connections with other well-known notions, such as Lebesgue measurablility, Baire- and Doughnut-property and the Marczewski field.…
We show that if $cf(2^{\aleph_0})=\aleph_1,$ then any non-trivial $\aleph_1$-closed forcing notion of size $\leq 2^{\aleph_0}$ is forcing equivalent to $Add(\aleph_1, 1),$ the Cohen forcing for adding a new Cohen subset of $\omega_1.$ We…
In this article, we try to complete the regularity implications between the regularitites of the well-known tree forcing notions at the $\boldsymbol{\Delta}^1_2$ level of the projective hierarchy. The missing links in this case were the…
The $\sigma$-ideal $(v^0)$ is associated with the Silver forcing, see \cite{bre}. Also, it constitutes the family of all completely doughnut null sets, see \cite{hal}. We introduce segments and $*$-segments topologies, to state some…
Assume $\kappa = \kappa^{< \kappa}$ (usually $\aleph_0$ or an inaccessible). We shall deal with iterated forcings preserving ${}^{\kappa>}{\rm Ord}$ and not collapsing cardinals along a linear order $L$. A sufficient condition for this,…
We try to control many cardinal characteristics by working with a notion of orthogonality between two families of forcings. We show that b^+<g is consistent
In the first part of the paper, we show that if $\omega \le \kappa < \lambda$ are cardinals, $\kappa^{<\kappa} = \kappa$, and $\lambda$ is weakly compact, then in $V[\M(\kappa,\lambda)]$ the tree property at $\lambda =…
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…
We study sigma-ideals and regularity properties related to the "filter-Laver" and "dual-filter-Laver" forcing partial orders. An important innovation which enables this study is a dichotomy theorem proved recently by Miller [1]. [1] Arnold…
We show that certain type of tree forcings, including Sacks forcing, increases the covering of the strong measure zero ideal $\mathcal{SN}$. As a consequence, in Sacks model, such covering number is equal to the size of the continuum, which…
Let $\kappa$ be an uncountable cardinal such that $2^{<\kappa} = \kappa$ or just ${\rm cf}(\kappa) > \omega$, $2^{2^{<\kappa}}= 2^\kappa$, and $([\kappa]^\kappa, \supseteq)$ collapses $2^\kappa$ to $\omega$. We show under these assumptions…
We present two ways in which the model $L({\mathbb R})$ is canonical assuming the existence of large cardinals. We show that the theory of this model, with {\em ordinal} parameters, cannot be changed by small forcing; we show further that a…
