• Abstract:
The original theme of the paper is the existence proof of “there is \bar{\eta}=\langle\eta_\alpha:\alpha<\lambda\rangle which is a (\lambda,J)-sequence for \bar{I}=\langle I_i:i< \delta\rangle, a sequence of ideals. This can be thought of as in a generalization to Luzin sets and Sierpinski sets, but for the product \prod_{i< \delta} Dom(I_i), the existence proofs are related to pcf . The second theme is when does a Boolean algebra B has free caliber \lambda (i.e. if X\subseteq B and |X|=\lambda, then for some Y\subseteq X with |Y|=\lambda and Y is independent). We consider it for B being a Maharam measure algebra, or B a (small) product of free Boolean algebras, and \kappa-cc Boolean algebras. A central case \lambda= (\beth_\omega)^+ or more generally, \lambda=\mu^+ for \mu strong limit singular of “small” cofinality. A second one is \mu=\mu^{<\kappa}<\lambda< 2^\mu; the main case is \lambda regular but we also have things to say on the singular case. Lastly, we deal with ultraproducts of Boolean algebras in relation to irr(-) and s(-) Length, etc.
