Let $T_{0},T_{1}$ be [[Trees#^suslin|Suslin trees]], and consider them as the forcing notions [[Forcing trees#Killing an $ omega_{1}$-Souslin tree|adding a branch to themselves]].
Let $\mathcal{S}(T_{i})$ be the [[Specializing an Aronszajn tree with finite conditions|standard specializing poset]] for $T_{i}$.
We consider the relationship between these forcing notions.
Recall:
Lemma A: ![[Chain conditions#^eaac15]]
Lemma B:
![[Specializing an Aronszajn tree with finite conditions#^0008e0]]
If $T_{1} \otimes T_{2}$ is Suslin then
- Lemma A implies $T_{i} \Vdash T_{1-i}$ is Suslin (and in particular Aronszajn).
- This and Lemma B imply $T_{i} \Vdash \mathcal{S}(T_{1-i})$ satisfies ccc.
- Since the forcings themselves are absolute, this and Lemma A also imply $\mathcal{S}(T_{1-i}) \Vdash T_{i}$ satisfies ccc (i.e. is Suslin).
Since the conditions are symmetric, we get:
**Lemma.** If $T_{1} \otimes T_{2}$ is Suslin then forcing with $T_{i}$ or $\mathcal{S}(T_{i})$ preserves the Suslinity of $T_{1-i}$ and the ccc of $\mathcal{S}(T_{1-i})$.
