AbstractWe present a survey of some results and problems concerning constructions which require a diagonalization of length continuum to be carried out, particularly constructions of almost disjoint families of various sorts. We emphasize the role of cardinal invariants of the continuum and their combinatorial characterizations in such constructions.

AbstractWe prove the consistency of together with the existence of a -definable mad family, answering a question posed by Friedman and Zdomskyy in [7, Question 16]. For the proof we construct a mad family in L which is an ℵ1-union of perfect a.d. sets, such that this union remains mad in the iterated Hechler extension. The construction also leads us to isolate a new cardinal invariant, the Borel almost-disjointness number, defined as the least number of Borel a.d. sets whose union is a mad family. Our proof yields the consistency of (and hence, ).

We prove estimates for the cardinality of set-theoretic ultrapowers in terms of the cardinality of almost disjoint families. Such results are then applied to obtain estimates for the density of ultrapowers of Banach spaces. We focus on the change of the behavior of the corresponding ultrapower when certain ‘‘completeness thresholds’’ of the relevant ultrafilter are crossed. Finally, we also provide an alternative characterization of measurable cardinals.

Let I be an ideal on ?, the notion of I-AD family was introduced in [3]. Analogous to the well studied ideal I(A) generated by almost disjoint families, we introduce and investigate the ideal I(I-A). It turns out that some properties of I(I-A) depends on the structure of I. Denoting by a(I) the minimum of the cardinalities of infinite I-MAD families, several characterizations for a(I) ? ?1 will be presented. Motivated by the work in [23], we introduce the cardinality s?,?(I), and obtain a necessary condition for s?,?(I) = s(I). As an application, we show finally that if a(I) ? s(I), then BW property coincides with Helly property.
