Abstract

We analyze several "strong meager" properties for filters on the natural numbers between the classical Baire property and a filter being Fσ. Two such properties have been studied by Talagrand and a few more combinatorial ones are investigated. In particular, we define the notion of a P⁺-filter, a generalization of the traditional concept of P-filter, and prove the existence of a non-meager P⁺-filter. Our motivation lies in understanding the structure of filters generated by complements of members of a maximal almost disjoint family.
