There is a P-measure in the random model

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

We say that a finitely additive probability measure μμ on ωω is \emph{a P-measure} if it vanishes on points and for each decreasing sequence (En)(E_n) of infinite subsets of ωω there is E⊆ωE\subseteqω such that E⊆∗EnE\subseteq^* E_n for each n∈ωn\inω and μ(E)=lim⁡n→∞μ(En)μ(E) = \lim_{n\to\infty}μ(E_n). Thus, P-measures generalize in a natural way P-points and it is known that, similarly as in the case of P-points, their existence is independent of ZFC\mathsf{ZFC}. In this paper we show that there is a P-measure in the model obtained by adding any number of random reals to a model of CH\mathsf{CH}. As a corollary, we obtain that in the classical random model ω∗ω^* contains a nowhere dense ccc closed P-set.
