Contribution

The paper introduces a new combinatorial principle that characterizes the difference between models obtained by adding __ and _{+1} Cohen reals.

Findings

Identifies a mathematical principle distinguishing the models.

Provides a deeper understanding of the structure of Cohen real extensions.

Abstract

Abstractly, the generic extensions after $\aleph_\omega$-many Cohen reals and $\aleph_{\omega+1}$-many Cohen reals must be different for reasons of uniform density the relevant Boolean algebras. Nevertheless this is not satisfying and it would be nice to pin the difference between the two models down to some mathematical or combinatorial principle. In this paper we provide such a principle.
