Between Maharam's and von Neumann's problems

Authors: Ilijas Farah and Jindrich Zapletal
Author institution: York University, and University of Florida

Summary: In the context of definable algebras Maharam's and von Neumann's problems essentially coincide. Consequently, random forcing is the only definable ccc forcing adding a single real that does not make the ground model reals null, and the only pairs of definable ccc $\sigma$-ideals with the Fubini property are $(\mathtt{meager},\mathtt{meager})$ and $(\mathtt{null},\mathtt{null})$.
