WAYS OF DESTRUCTION
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 October 2021
Abstract
We study the following natural strong variant of destroying Borel ideals:
$\mathbb {P}$
$+$
-destroys
$\mathcal {I}$
if
$\mathbb {P}$
adds an
$\mathcal {I}$
-positive set which has finite intersection with every
$A\in \mathcal {I}\cap V$
. Also, we discuss the associated variants
Among other results, (1) we give a simple combinatorial characterisation when a real forcing $\mathbb {P}_I$ can $+$ -destroy a Borel ideal $\mathcal {J}$ ; (2) we discuss many classical examples of Borel ideals, their $+$ -destructibility, and cardinal invariants; (3) we show that the Mathias–Prikry, $\mathbb {M}(\mathcal {I}^*)$ -generic real $+$ -destroys $\mathcal {I}$ iff $\mathbb {M}(\mathcal {I}^*)\ +$ -destroys $\mathcal {I}$ iff $\mathcal {I}$ can be $+$ -destroyed iff $\mathrm {cov}^*(\mathcal {I},+)>\omega $ ; (4) we characterise when the Laver–Prikry, $\mathbb {L}(\mathcal {I}^*)$ -generic real $+$ -destroys $\mathcal {I}$ , and in the case of P-ideals, when exactly $\mathbb {L}(\mathcal {I}^*)$ $+$ -destroys $\mathcal {I}$ ; and (5) we briefly discuss an even stronger form of destroying ideals closely related to the additivity of the null ideal.
