    Definable maximal cofinitary groups of intermediate size

    Full text link
    Using almost disjoint coding, we show that for each 1<M<N<ω1<M<N<\omega consistently d=ag=ℵM<c=ℵN\mathfrak{d}=\mathfrak{a}_g=\aleph_M<\mathfrak{c}=\aleph_N, where ag=ℵM\mathfrak{a}_g=\aleph_M is witnessed by a Π21\Pi^1_2 maximal cofinitary group.Comment: 22 page

    Projective maximal families of orthogonal measures with large continuum

    Full text link
    We study maximal orthogonal families of Borel probability measures on 2ω2^\omega (abbreviated m.o. families) and show that there are generic extensions of the constructible universe LL in which each of the following holds: (1) There is a Δ31\Delta^1_3-definable well order of the reals, there is a Π21\Pi^1_2-definable m.o. family, there are no Σ21\mathbf{\Sigma}^1_2-definable m.o. families and b=c=ω3\mathfrak{b}=\mathfrak{c}=\omega_3 (in fact any reasonable value of c\mathfrak{c} will do). (2) There is a Δ31\Delta^1_3-definable well order of the reals, there is a Π21\Pi^1_2-definable m.o. family, there are no Σ21\mathbf{\Sigma}^1_2-definable m.o. families, b=ω1\mathfrak{b}=\omega_1 and c=ω2\mathfrak{c}=\omega_2.Comment: 12 page

    Note on s0s_0 nonmeasurable unions

    Full text link
    In this note we consider an arbitrary families of sets of s0s_0 ideal introduced by Marczewski-Szpilrajn. We show that in any uncountable Polish space XX and under some combinatorial and set theoretical assumptions (cov(s_0)=\c for example), that for any family \ca\subseteq s_0 with \bigcup\ca =X, we can find a some subfamily \ca'\subseteq\ca such that the union \bigcup\ca' is not ss-measurable. We have shown a consistency of the cov(s_0)=\omega_1<\c and existence a partition of the size ω1\omega_1 \ca\in [s_0]^{\omega} of the real line \bbr, such that there exists a subfamily \ca'\subseteq\ca for which \bigcup\ca' is ss-nonmeasurable. We also showed that it is relatively consistent with ZFC theory that \omega_1<\c and existence of m.a.d. family \ca such that \bigcup\ca is ss-nonmeasurable in Cantor space 2ω2^\omega or Baire space ωω\omega^\omega. The consistency of a<cov(s0)a<cov(s_0) and cov(s0)<acov(s_0)<a is proved also.Comment: 12 page
