Goldstern's principle about unions of null sets
Abstract: Goldstern showed in his 1993 paper that the union of a real-parametrized, monotone family of Lebesgue measure zero sets has also Lebesgue measure zero provided that the sets are uniformly $\boldsymbol{\Sigma}1_1$. Our aim is to study to what extent we can drop the $\boldsymbol{\Sigma}1_1$ assumption. We show Goldstern's principle for the pointclass $\boldsymbol{\Pi}1_1$ holds. We show that Goldstern's principle for the pointclass of all subsets is consistent with $\mathsf{ZFC}$ and show its negation follows from $\mathsf{CH}$. Also we prove that Goldstern's principle for the pointclass of all subsets holds both under $\mathsf{ZF} + \mathsf{AD}$ and in Solovay models.
