We investigate what we can say about ${\\lambda}$-resolvability in c.c.c-generic extensions for ${\\lambda}>{\\omega}$? A topological space is \"monotonically $\\omega_1$-resolvable\" if there is a function $f:X\\to {\\omega_1}$ such that $$\\{x\\in X: f(x)\\ge {\\alpha} \\}\\subset^{dense}X $$ for each ${\\alpha}<{\\omega_1}$. We show that given a $T_1$ space $X$ the following statements are equivalent: (1) $X$ is ${\\omega}_1$-resolvable in some c.c.c-generic extension, (2) $X$ is monotonically $\\omega_1$-resolvable. (3) $X$ is ${\\omega}_1$-resolvable in the Cohen-generic extension $V^{Fn({\\omega_1},2)}$. We investigate which spaces are monotonically $\\omega_1$-resolvable. We show that if a topological space $X$ is c.c.c, and ${\\omega}_1\\le \\Delta(X)\\le |X|<{\\omega}_{\\omega}$, then $X$ is monotonically $\\omega_1$-resolvable. On the other hand, it is also consistent, modulo the existence of a measurable cardinal, that there is a space $Y$ with $|Y|=\\Delta(Y)=\\aleph_\\omega$ which is not monotonically $\\omega_1$-resolvable. The characterization of ${\\omega_1}$-resolvability in c.c.c generic extension raises the following question: is it true that crowded spaces from the ground model are ${\\omega}$-resolvable in $V^{Fn({\\omega},2)}$? We show that (i) if $V=L$ then every crowded c.c.c. space $X$ is ${\\omega}$-resolvable in $V^{Fn({\\omega},2)}$, (ii) if there is no weakly inaccesssible cardinals, then every crowded space $X$ is ${\\omega}$-resolvable in $V^{Fn({\\omega}_1,2)}$. On the other hand, it is also consistent that there is a crowded space $X$ with $|X|=\\Delta(X)={\\omega_1}$ such that $X$ remains irresolvable after adding a single Cohen real.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-02-01T15:57:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "54A35", "03E35", "54A25" ], "keywords": [ "resolvable", "crowded space", "resolvability", "ground model", "c-generic extension" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
