Abstract

Suppose that PP is a forcing notion, LL is a language (in VV), τ˙\dot{\tau} a PP-name such that PP\Vdash "τ˙\dot{\tau} is a countable LL-structure". In the product P×PP\times P, there are names τ1˙,τ2˙\dot{\tau_{1}},\dot{\tau_{2}} such that for any generic filter G=G1×G2G=G_{1}\times G_{2} over P×PP\times P, τ˙1[G]=τ˙[G1]\dot{\tau}_{1}[G]=\dot{\tau}[G_{1}] and τ˙2[G]=τ˙[G2]\dot{\tau}_{2}[G]=\dot{\tau}[G_{2}]. Zapletal asked whether or not P×Pτ˙1τ˙2P \times P \Vdash \dot{\tau}_{1}\cong\dot{\tau}_{2} implies that there is some MVM\in V such that Pτ˙MˇP \Vdash \dot{\tau}\cong\check{M}. We answer this negatively and discuss related issues.
