Define 𝖟 to be the smallest cardinality of a function f : X→ Y with
X,Y ⊆ 2ω such that there is no Borel function g⊇ f. In this
paper we prove that it is relatively consistent with ZFC to have
𝔟 < 𝔷
where 𝔟 is, as usual, smallest cardinality of an unbounded family in
ωω. This answers a question raised by Zapletal.
¶
We also show that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that there exists
X⊆ 2ω such that the Borel order of X is bounded but there
exists a relatively analytic subset of X which is not relatively coanalytic.
This answers a question of Mauldin.
