Suslin-tree obstruction to Martin's axiom

ID: suslin-tree-obstruction-to-martin-s-axiom

A well-pruned set-theoretic tree that is an Aronszajn tree and a Suslin tree gives a forcing with the countable chain condition for forcing: stronger nodes extend weaker ones. The dense subsets of a forcing order of nodes at or above each level cannot all be met by a filter in an ordered set, since that would produce a cofinal branch. Thus fails. When the continuum exceeds , full Martin axiom includes this instance.
