On the structure of Borel ideals in-between the ideals $\mathcal{ED}$ and $\mathrm{Fin}\otimes\mathrm{Fin}$ in the Katětov order (2011.03777v3)

Abstract: For a family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \omega^\omega$ we define the ideal $\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{F})$ on $\omega\times\omega$ to be the ideal generated by the family ${A\subseteq \omega\times\omega:\exists f\in \mathcal{F}\,\forall^\infty n\, (|{k:(n,k)\in A}|\leq f(n))}.$ Using ideals of the form $\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{F})$, we show that the structure of Borel ideals in-between two well known Borel ideals $\mathcal{ED} = {A\subseteq\omega\times\omega:\exists m \, \forall^\infty n\, (|{k:(n,k)\in A}|<m))}$ and $\mathrm{Fin}\otimes\mathrm{Fin} = {A\subseteq\omega\times\omega:\forall^\infty n \, (|{k:(n,k)\in A}|<\aleph_0))}$ in the Kat\v{e}tov order is fairly complicated. Namely, there is a copy of $\mathcal{P}(\omega)/\mathrm{Fin}$ in-between $\mathcal{ED}$ and $\mathrm{Fin}\otimes\mathrm{Fin}$, and consequently there are increasing and decreasing chains of length $\mathfrak{b}$ and antichains of size $\mathfrak{c}$.
