The intersection number for forcing notions

Logic 2024-02-09 v2

Abstract

Based on works of Saharon Shelah, Jakob Kellner, and Anda T\u{a}nasie for controlling the cardinal characteristics of the continuum in ccc forcing extensions, in the author's master's thesis was introduced a new combinatorial notion: the intersection number for forcing notions, which was used in such thesis to build a general theory of iterated forcing using finitely additive measures. In this paper, we present the definition of such a notion and prove some of its fundamental properties in detail. Additionally, we introduce a new linkedness property called μ\mu-intersection-linked, prove some of its basic properties, and provide some interesting examples.
