Abstract: We consider general regularity properties associated with Suslin ccc forcing notions. By Solovay's celebrated work, starting from a model of ZFC+"There exists an inaccessible cardinal", we can get a model of ZF+DC+"All sets of reals are Lebesgue measurable and have the Baire property". By another famous result of Shelah, ZF+DC+"All sets of reals have the Baire property" is equiconsistent with ZFC. This result was obtained by isolating the notion of "sweetness", a strong version of ccc which is preserved under amalgamation, thus allowing the construction of a suitably homogeneous forcing notion.

The above results lead to the following question: Can we get a similar result for non-sweet ccc forcing notions without using an inaccessible cardinal?

In our work we give a positive answer by constructing a suitable ccc creature forcing and iterating along a non-wellfounded homogeneous linear order. While the resulting model satisfies ZF+¬ACω, we prove in a subsequent work that starting with a model of ZFC+"There is a measurable cardinal", we can get a model of ZF+DCω1. This is joint work with Saharon Shelah.
