Cross-intersecting sub-families of hereditary families

Families A1,A2, . . . ,Ak of sets are said to be cross-intersecting if for any i and j in {1, 2, . . . , k} with i 6= j, any set in Ai intersects any set in Aj . For a nite set X, let 2X denote the power set of X (the family of all subsets of X). A family H is said to be hereditary if all subsets of any set in H are in H; so H is hereditary if and only if it is a union of power sets. We conject...

Mad families, splitting families and large continuum

Let κ < λ be regular uncountable cardinals. Using a finite support iteration of ccc posets we obtain the consistency of b = a = κ < s = λ. If μ is a measurable cardinal and μ < κ < λ, then using similar techniques we obtain the consistency of b = κ < a = s = λ.
