Abstract
Denote by $\mathcal{NA}$ and $\mathcal{MA}$ the ideals of null-additive and meager-additive subsets of~$2^\omega$, respectively. We prove in ZFC that $\mathrm{add}(\mathcal{NA})=\mathrm{non}(\mathcal{NA})$ and introduce a new (Polish) relational system to reformulate Bartoszy\'nski's and Judah's characterization of the uniformity of $\mathcal{MA}$, which is helpful to understand the combinatorics of $\mathcal{MA}$ and to prove consistency results. As for the latter, we prove that $\mathrm{cov}(\mathcal{MA})<\mathfrak{c}$ (even $\mathrm{cov}(\mathcal{MA})<\mathrm{non}(\mathcal{N})$) is consistent with ZFC, as well as several constellations of Cicho\'n's diagram with $\mathrm{non}(\mathcal{NA})$, $\mathrm{non}(\mathcal{MA})$ and $\mathrm{add}(\mathcal{SN})$, which include $\mathrm{non}(\mathcal{NA})<\mathfrak{b}< \mathrm{non}(\mathcal{MA})$ and $\mathfrak{b}< \mathrm{add}(\mathcal{SN})<\mathrm{cov}(\mathcal{M})<\mathfrak{d}=\mathfrak{c}$.
