Large set of almost disjoint functions on a product space

Given an increasing sequence of cardinals $\langle\kappa_\alpha\mid \alpha\in\kappa\rangle$, let $K=\prod_{\alpha\in\kappa} \kappa_\alpha$, then we call $f,g\in K$ eventually different if there exists …

Extending normal filters

If $F$ is a $\kappa$-complete filter on some set $S$, and $F$ is generated by a basis of size $\lambda$, then $F$ extends to a $\kappa$-complete ultrafilter on $S$ when we assume that $\kappa$ is $\la …

Forcing equivalence and equal generic extensions

Two forcing notions $\Bbb P$ and $\Bbb Q$ could be defined to be forcing equivalent if the associated complete Boolean algebras are isomorphic (so, the CBA's formed by considering the regular opens of …

What is the forcing $\bf U$ from Bartoszyński-Judah?

In Set Theory - on the structure of the Real Line by Bartoszyński & Judah, a forcing notion $\bf U$ is mentioned on page 339, allegedly corresponding to $\rm{cof}(\cal N)$ as it has several properties …

Referring to the countability of $\Bbb Q$ as "Cantor's first diagonal argument"

I had a discussion with one of my students, who was convinced that they could prove something was countable using Cantor's diagonal argument. They were referring to (what I know as) Cantor's pairing f …

Coherent sequence of ultrafilters in iterated forcing extensions

Remember that if $\kappa$ is strongly compact, then any ${<}\kappa$-complete filter extends to a ${<}\kappa$-complete ultrafilter. Let $\Bbb P_\delta=\langle\Bbb P_\alpha,\dot{\Bbb Q}_\alpha\mid \alph …
