distributivity of Boolean algebras; cardinal invariants of the continuum; Stone-Čech compactification; tree $\pi$-base
Summary:
We prove an analogue to Dordal's result in P.L. Dordal, {\it A model in which the base-matrix tree cannot have cofinal branches\/}, J. Symbolic Logic {\bf 52} (1980), 651--664. He obtained a model of ZFC in which there is a tree $\pi$-base for $\Bbb N^{\ast}$ with no $\omega_{2}$ branches yet of height $\omega_{2}$. We establish that this is also possible for $\Bbb R^{\ast}$ using a natural modification of Mathias forcing.
