Is this presentation of the Random real forcing separative and $\sigma$-linked?

161 Views Asked by At

Random real forcing is the poset formed by the closed subsets of $[0,1]$ that are non-null (with respect to the Lebesgue measure), ordered by $\subseteq$.

  1. Is the Random real forcing $\sigma$-linked?

  2. Is the Random real forcing non-separative?

  1. Yes. Use the Lebesgue density theorem to find, for each condition $p$, an interval $(a,b)$ with rational endpoints such that the intersection $p\cap(a,b)$ has more than half of the measure of $(a,b)$.

  2. Yes. Consider two conditions that differ by a set of measure $0$, for example $[0,\frac12]$ and $[0,\frac12]\cup\{\frac34\}$.
