THE CONSISTENCY OF ARBITRARILY LARGE SPREAD BETWEEN THE BOUNDING AND THE SPLITTING NUMBERS
In the following κ and λ are arbitrary regular uncountable cardinals. What was known? Theorem 1 (Balcar-Pelant-Simon, [2]). It is relatively consistent with ZFC that s = ω1 < b = κ. Theorem 2Expand

This article will trace the growing understanding of the continuum, as well as its related cardinals and associated combinatorial structures, starting at the beginning of the twentieth century and ending at the start of the twenty-first century. Expand
Combinatorics of filters and ideals
We study the combinatorial aspects of filters and ideals on count- able sets, concentrating on Borel ideals and their interaction with non-definable ones. The basic tools for this study are cardinalExpand

ON THE BAIRE NUMBER OF THE STONE SPACE OF [Pscr]([omega])/fin
Throughout this paper, St(0(ω)}fin) denotes the Stone representation space of the Boolean algebra 0(ω)}fin, that is, the power set of ω modulo the ideal of finite sets. Note that St(0(ω)}fin) is theExpand
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 surveyExpand
MAD Saturated Families and SANE Player
• S. Shelah

Abstract We throw some light on the question: is there a MAD family (a maximal family of infinite subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ , the intersection of any two is finite) that is saturated (=completelyExpand
