Abstract

We study the existence of Borel sets B ⊆ ω2 admitting a sequence hηα : α < λi of distinct elements of ω2 such that ||(ηα + B) ∩(ηβ + B)|| ≥ 6 for all α, β < λ but with no perfect set of such η's. Our result implies that under the Martin Axiom, if ℵα < c, α < ω1 and 3 ≤ ι < ω, then there exists a Σ0 2 set B ⊆ ω2 which has ℵα many pairwise 2ι-nondisjoint translations but not a perfect set of such translations. Our arguments closely follow Shelah [7, Section 1].
