The CH conjecture for MAD sigma-sets

About 24 years old · traced to

A MAD family is a maximal almost disjoint family of infinite subsets of omega\text{omega}, and a subset X⊆2ωX\subseteq 2^\omega is a sigma-set if for every Borel set B⊆2ωB\subseteq 2^\omega there is a GδG_\delta set GG such that B∩X=G∩XB\cap X=G\cap X. CH conjecture. The continuum hypothesis implies that there exists a MAD sigma-set. The statement is motivated by the consistency result that a MAD sigma-set of size the continuum can exist with arbitrary prescribed cardinal arithmetic, together with large-cardinal absoluteness results; its status is presented in the source as conjectural.
