Abstract:Consider the poset $P_I=\text {Borel}(\Bbb R)\setminus I$ where $I$ is an arbitrary $\sigma $-ideal $\sigma $-generated by a projective collection of closed sets. Then the $P_I$ extension is given by a single real $r$ of an almost minimal degree: every real $s\in V[r]$ is Cohen-generic over $V$ or $V[s]=V[r]$.
Keywords: forcing, descriptive set theory, large cardinals
