Abstract

We show that Additivity of Measure does not imply MA(Suslin), thus answering an open question in [J-S 1]. We define the notion of Susiin absoluteness and we show that the existence of a Susiin absolute model of ZFC is equiconsistent with the existence of an inaccessible cardinal. Finally, we give a combinatorial characterization of MA(Amoeba) which is also equivalent to Additivity of Measure.
