Tree dichotomy for slalom localization families

Establish whether analytic $\subseteq_{\operatorname{sl}^*}$-dominating families satisfy a tree dichotomy.

Background

The paper analyzes slalom localization forcing, proves its total universality and properness, and relates it to increasing the cardinal invariant $\add(\mathcal{N})$. It leaves open whether the corresponding analytic dominating families have a tree-based dichotomy.
