چکیده
We answer a question of Gracia-Ferreira and Hrušák by constructing consistently a MAD family maximal in the Katětov order. We also answer several questions of Garcia-Ferreira.

A Special Class of Almost Disjoint Families
The collection of branches (maximal linearly ordered sets of nodes) of the tree ω (ordered by inclusion) forms an almost disjoint family (of sets of nodes). This family is not maximal – for example, any level of the tree is almost disjoint from all of the branches. How many sets must be added to the family of branches to make it maximal? This question leads to a series of definitions and result...
متن کاملRemarks on a Class of Almost Disjoint Families
We study the relationship between several closely related m.a.d. families in several forcing models. We also prove some ZFC result concerning the lower bound of these m.a.d. families, which answers a question suggested by Stevo Todorcevic. In the last section, we state several open problems in this area. 1. Almost Disjoint Families We Study Studying the concept of almost disjoint (a.d.) familie...
متن کاملHow to drive our families mad
Given a family F of pairwise almost disjoint (ad) sets on a countable set S, we study families F̃ of maximal almost disjoint (mad) sets extending F . We define a+(F) to be the minimal possible cardinality of F̃ \F for such F̃ and a+(κ) = max{a+(F) : | F | ≤ κ}. We show that all infinite cardinal less than or equal to the continuum c can be represented as a+(F) for some ad F (Theorem 21) and that t...
متن کاملA Model with No Strongly Separable Almost Disjoint Families
We answer a question of Shelah and Steprāns [6] by producing a model of ZFC where there are no strongly separable almost disjoint families. The notion of a strongly separable almost disjoint family is a natural variation on the well known notion of a completely separable almost disjoint family, and is closely related to the metrization problem for countable Fréchet groups.
متن کاملMad Families and Their Neighbors
We study several sorts of maximal almost disjoint families, both on a countable set and on uncountable, regular cardinals. We relate the associated cardinal invariants with bounding and dominating numbers and also with the uniformity of the meager ideal and some of its generalizations. 1. Who Are These Families? A Background Check Almost disjoint (ad) families have been a topic of interest in s...
