Abstract
We construct, using mild combinatorial hypotheses, a real Menger set that is not Scheepers, and two real sets that are Menger in all finite powers, with a non-Menger product. By a forcing-theoretic argument, we show that the same holds in the Blass–Shelah model for arbitrary values of the ultrafilter number and the dominating number.
