Problem #24

Is add(N) < add(UN) consistent?

Open!Ordinary impact — every problem listed here is a genuine, worthwhile open problem

Let add(N)\mathrm{add}(\mathcal{N}) and add(UN)\mathrm{add}(\mathcal{UN}) denote the additivity numbers of the Lebesgue null σ-ideal and the universally null σ-ideal respectively. Is add(N)<add(UN)\mathrm{add}(\mathcal{N})<\mathrm{add}(\mathcal{UN}) consistent with ZFC?

Notes

Goto [Got26] has attained results on other cardinal characteristics of UN. More open questions about UN can be found in the paper, such as the consistency of cof(UN)<c\mathrm{cof}(\mathcal{UN})<\mathfrak{c}.
