The near Coherence of Filters Principle Does Not Imply the Filter Dichotomy Principle
We show that there is a forcing extension in which any two ultrafilters on ω are nearly coherent and there is a non-meagre filter that is not nearly ultra. This answers Blass’ longstanding question (1989) of whether the principle of near coherence of filters is strictly weaker than the filter dichotomy
متن کاملThe Filter Dichotomy Principle Does Not Imply the Semifilter Trichotomy Principle
We answer Blass' question from 1989 of whether the inequality u < g is strictly stronger than the lter dichotomy principle [6, page 36] a rmatively. We show that there is a forcing extension in which every non-meagre lter on ω is ultra by nite-to-one and the semilter trichotomy does not hold. This trichotomy says: every semi lter is either meagre or comeagre or ultra by nite-to-one. The trichot...

Examining an ambiguity in the notion of an ill-posed problem show...
