In the Cohen model any compact separable space that does not contain ßN has cardinality at most of the continuum. In this paper we prove the theorem stated in the abstract. By the Cohen model we mean any model obtained by adjoining N2 Cohen reals to a model of GCH. We shall, in fact, show that any compact separable space of cardinality greater than the continuum c will map onto the space /' . We will see that this is equivalent to containing ßN. We freely use any notation and conventions which…

Several combinatorial principles'' concerning kappa \times omega matrices of subsets of omega and prove that they are valid in the generic extension obtained by adding any number of Cohen reals to any ground model V, provided that the parameter kappa is an omega-inaccessible regular cardinal in V.

An infinite family $$\mathscr {A}$$ of infinite subsets of the natural numbers, $$\omega$$, is almost disjoint (AD) if the intersection of any two distinct elements of $$\mathscr {A}$$ is finite. It

We introduce a general method of constructing locally compact scattered spaces from certain families of sets and then, with the help of this method, we prove that if • <• = • then there is such a

### Almost Disjoint Families and Topology

An infinite family $${\fancyscript{A}}\subset {\fancyscript{P}}(\omega )$$ is almost disjoint (AD) if the intersection of any two distinct elements of $${\fancyscript{A}}$$ is finite. We survey

A set a C X is a partitioner of a maximal almost-disjoint faculty F of subsets of X if every element of F is almost contained in or almost-disjoint from a. The partition algebra of F is the quotient
