Sacks forcing collapses $\frak c$ to $\frak b$

Comment.Math.Univ.Carolinae 34,4 (1993) 707-710.

Abstract:We shall prove that Sacks algebra is nowhere $(\frak b, \frak c, \frak c)$-distributive, which implies that Sacks forcing collapses $\frak c$ to $\frak b$.

Keywords: perfect tree, distributivity of Boolean algebra, almost disjoint refinement
