Abstract

We consider and give a complete solution to, implications of the form: (*) Every X1-set of reals has the property P1 implies every X2-set of reals has the property P2, for X1,X2ε{lunate} {Δ1211, σ1212}, and where P1,P2 are among 'to be Ramsey', 'Kσ-regular' and of course 'Lebesgue measurable' and 'Baire categoricity'. Naturally we are led to look for characterizations of such properties (by forcing). Not surprisingly, excepting the trivial implications, we get many consistency results, but 'fortunately' we get quite a number of theorems ( = implications proved in ZFC), notably among the 'to be Ramsay' and 'Kσ-regular'. 1. Theorem 1. The following are equivalent: (a) Every Σ12-set of reals is Ramsey. (b) Every Δ12-set of reals is Ramsey. (c) For every r ε{lunate} R there exists s ε{lunate} [ω]ω, s is P(Ds[r])-generic over L[r][Ds] (Definitions are given in Section 0.) For this theorem we develop a forcing P(D) (D an ultrafilter on ω) shooting a real 'through' the ultrafilter. 1. Theorem 2. The following are equivalent: (a) Every Σ12-set of reals is Kσ-regular. (b) Every Δ12-set of reals is Kσ-regular. (c) Every Π11-set of reals is Kσ-regular. (d) For every rε{lunate}R, there exists fε{lunate} ωω, f is a σ-bound to ωω ∩L[r].
