Title: Cardinal invariants versus towers in analytic P-ideals / An application of matrix iteration

Abstract. I will present two models concerning interactions between the existence of towers in analytic P-ideals and their cardinal invariants. It is trivial to see that if there is no tower in \(\mathcal{I}\), then \(\mathrm{add}^*(\mathcal{I})<\mathrm{cov}^*(\mathcal{I})\). I will prove that this implication cannot be reversed no matter the value of \(\mathrm{non}^*(\mathcal{I})\). More precisely, let \(\mathcal{I}\) be an arbitrary tall analytic P-ideal, I will construct the following two models:

Model1 of \(\mathrm{non}^*(\mathcal{I})=\mathfrak{c}\), there is a tower in \(\mathcal{I}\), and \(\mathrm{add}^*(\mathcal{I})<\mathrm{cov}^*(\mathcal{I})\). Method: Small filter iteration.

Model2 of \(\mathrm{non}^*(\mathcal{I})<\mathfrak{c}\), there is a tower in \(\mathcal{I}\), and \(\mathrm{add}^*(\mathcal{I})<\mathrm{cov}^*(\mathcal{I})\). Method: Matrix iteration.

This is a joint work with J. Brendle and J. Verner.
