Roitman [9]. We also answer a question of J. Steprans and S. Watson [13] by showing that, by a forcing that preserves cardinals, one can destroy the precalibre-$\\aleph_1$ property of a partial ordering while preserving its ccc-ness.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-04-10T11:48:26.000Z", "comment": null, "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2019-08-28T18:35:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03Exx", "03E50", "03E57" ], "keywords": [ "martins axiom", "random real number destroys", "large fragment", "partial orders", "old question" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1404.2776B" } } }
