Tukey-order with models on Pawlikowski's theorems

Abstract

In J. Symbolic Logic,51(4): 957-968, 1986, Pawlikowski proved that, if r is a random real over N, and c is Cohen real over N[r], then (a) in N[r][c] there is a Cohen real over N[c], and (b) 2ωN[c]N[r][c], so in N[r][c] there is no random real over N[c]. To prove this, Pawlikowski proposes the following notion: Given two models N⊂eq M of ZFC, we associate with a cardinal characteristic x of the continuum, a sentence xNM saying that in M, the reals in N give an example of a family fulfilling the requirements of the cardinal. So to prove (a) and (b), it suffices to prove that (a') cov(M)N[c]M[c]⇒cof(M)NM⇒cov(N)NM, and (b') cov(M)NM⇒add(M)NM⇒non(M)N[c]M[c]⇒cov(N)N[c]M[c]. In this paper, we introduce the notion of Tukey-order with models, which expands the concept of Tukey-order introduced by Vojt\'as (Israel Math. Conf. Proc. 6: 619-643, 1991) to prove expressions of the form xNM⇒yNM. In particular, we show (a') and (b') using Tukey-order with models.
