Abstract

The mad spectrum is the set of all cardinalities of infinite maximal almost disjoint families on ω. We treat the problem to characterize those sets ${\rm {\cal A}} $ which, in some forcing extension of the universe, can be the mad spectrum. We give a complete solution to this problem under the assumption $\vartheta ^{ < \vartheta } = \vartheta $, where $\vartheta = {\rm{min}}\left( {\rm {\cal A}} \right) $.
