Posets preserving stationary subsets of $\omega_1$ and no new $\text{cof}(\omega)$ ordinals, but without countable covering property
What are some examples of posets $\mathbb{P}$ which have the following properties? It's OK if the definition uses large cardinals or some other hypothesis.
$\mathbb{P}$ preserves stationary subsets ...

Does "antichain" mean something different in set-forcing than in lattice theory?
On page 3 of Introduction to Lattices and Order, Davey and Priestley define an antichain in a poset $\langle P,\leq\rangle$ as a set of pairwise incomparable elements:
The ordered set P is an ...

Distributivity of certain infinite products
Suppose we have a sequence of posets $\{\mathbb P_n : n\in\omega\}$ such that for each $n$, $\mathbb P_{n+1}$ is $|\mathbb P_n|^+$-distributive. Is $\prod_{n>0} \mathbb P_n$ necessarily $|\mathbb ...

Introducing meets while preserving directed closure
A poset $\mathbb{P}$ is called well-met iff every pair of compatible conditions in $\mathbb{P}$ has a greatest lower bound.
Question: Suppose $\mathbb{P}$ is a separative partial order which is $\...

Characterizing forcings that don't add any dominating reals
Regarding reals as functions from $\omega$ to $\omega$, let's say a real $f$ eventually dominates $g$ iff $(\exists n)(\forall m > n)[ f(m) > g(m)]$. Let's say that a (non-trivial separative) ...

Statements forced by one condition of a poset, but not the whole thing
In order to get the relative consistency of some statement, it suffices to find a notion of forcing, and a condition $p$ in that forcing, such that $p$ forces the desired statement. It seems to be ...

Forcing axiom for a single poset
Let $FA_\kappa (\mathbb{P})$ be the claim that for every family $\mathscr{D}$ of dense sets in the poset $\mathbb{P}$ with $\vert \mathscr{D} \vert = \kappa $ there is a filter $G$ such that for all $...

Bounding and domination numbers for relation $\leq$ modulo $\omega$-nullsets
We say that $A\subseteq \omega$ is a nullset if $$\lim\sup_{n\to \infty} \frac{|A\cap n|}{n+1} = 0.$$
Let $\omega^\omega$ denote the set of functions $f:\omega\to\omega$. We define a pre-ordering ...

Which of these relations on partial orders allows us to identify forcing equivalence?
Background
This question was inspired by Justin Palumbo's excellent question Cantor Bernstein for notions of forcing.
In his question, Justin considers a relation $\lhd$ on partial orders (defined ...

A sequence of generic filters that does not come from an iteration
Fix a countable transitive model $M$ of ZFC.
In my answer to this question I indicated that there are forcing iterations
$((Q_\alpha:\alpha\leq\omega),(\dot P_\alpha:\alpha<\omega))$ in $M$ and ...

Cofinal well-founded subset in mod finite order
The mod finite order on ${}^\omega \omega$ is defined as $f \leq^\ast g$ if and only if $f(n) \leq g(n)$ except for finitely many $n \in \omega$. My question is: can we always extract a cofinal well-...

About subposet of Levy collapse
Let $\lambda>\kappa$ and $\operatorname{Coll}(\kappa, \lambda)$ be the poset collapsing $\lambda$ to $\kappa$. Pick a subposet $P$ which is $\lt\kappa$-closed and of size $\lambda$. Can we say that ...

A problem about posets similar to Suslin's problem
Suslin's problem is:
Given a complete dense linear order without endpoints, if it has the ccc must it be isomorphic to $\mathbb{R}$?
The answer is that it's independent of ZFC. The related ...
