Abstract

We introduce a new cardinal characteristic r*. related to the reaping number r. and show that

• posets of size < r* which add reals add unbounded reals;

• posets of size < r which add unbounded reals add Cohen reals.

We also show that add() ≤ min(r. r*). It follows that posets of size < add() which add reals add Cohen reals.

This improves results of Roslanowski and Shelah [RS] and of Zapletal [Z].
