Mycielski Ideals and Uniform Sacks Trees
\end{center}
 
\begin{abstract}
The Mycielski ideal $\mathfrak{C}_{X}$ ($X$ any set with $\vert X\vert\geq 2$) consists of all sets $A\subseteq X^\omega$ such that Player II has a winning strategy in the game $\Gamma_X(A,b)$ for every $b\in[\omega]^\omega$, where this game is defined such that both players produce some $x\in X^\omega$, $x(n)$ being chosen by Player II iff $n\in b$, and Player I wins iff $x\in A$.
For the variant $\mathfrak{P}_{X}$ one asks that Player II always has a winning strategy that is independent of Player I's moves, hence $\mathfrak{P}_{X}\subseteq \mathfrak{C}_{X}$.
 
There exist close relations between Mycielski ideals and tree forcing ideals, especially the ideal $u^0$ associated with uniform Sacks forcing and the Silver ideal $v^0$, as well as their finite dimensional versions $u^0_k,v^0_k$ ($2\leq k < \omega$).
Our main results which build on and are motivated by \cite{brendle}, \cite{kamo1993}, \cite{mycielski}, \cite{repicky2004}, \cite{Roslanowski1990}, \cite{Roslanowski1994}, \cite{shelahSteprans}, \cite{Spinas2016}, \cite{spinas2022} are the following:
\begin{enumerate}
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{(\alph{enumi})}
\item $\mathrm{cof}(\mathfrak{C}_{X})$ and $\mathrm{cof}(\mathfrak{P}_{X})$ may be singular and their cofinalities are $>2^{\aleph_0}$, for every $X$ with $\vert X\vert\geq 2$.
\item $\mathfrak{P}_{k}\subsetneq v^0_k$ and $\mathrm{Con}(\mathfrak{C}_{k}\subsetneq u^0_k)$ ($2\leq k<\omega$).
\item $\mathrm{add} (u^0_k)\leq \mathfrak{b}$ ($2\leq k < \omega$) and $\mathrm{Con}(\forall 2\leq k <\omega\; \mathfrak{d} < \mathrm{add}(\mathfrak{C}_{k}))$
\item $\mathfrak{P}_{k}\leq_T\mathfrak{P}_{k+1}$ and $\mathfrak{C}_{k}\leq_T\mathfrak{C}_{k+1}$ ($2\leq k < \omega$).
\item $\mathrm{Con}(\mathrm{cov}(\mathfrak{C}_{k+1}) < \mathrm{cov}(\mathfrak{C}_{k}))$ ($2\leq k < \omega$) (compare this with the result in \cite{shelahSteprans} that $\mathrm{cov}(\mathfrak{P}_{k}) = \mathrm{cov}(\mathfrak{P}_{k+1})$ in $\mathrm{ZFC}$)
\item $\mathrm{Con}(\mathrm{cov}(\mathcal{M}) < \mathrm{add}(u^0_k))$ ($2\leq k<\omega$)
\end{enumerate}
