Tukey Types of Ultrafilters

چکیده
We investigate the structure of the Tukey types of ultrafilters on countable sets partially ordered by reverse inclusion. A canonization of cofinal maps from a p-point into another ultrafilter is obtained. This is used in particular to study the Tukey types of p-points and selective ultrafilters. Results fall into three main categories: comparison to a basis element for selective ultrafilters, embeddings of chains and antichains into the Tukey types, and Tukey types generated by block-basic ultrafilters on FIN.

Cofinal types of ultrafilters
We study Tukey types of ultrafilters on ω, focusing on the question of when Tukey reducibility is equivalent to Rudin-Keisler reducibility. We give several conditions under which this equivalence holds. We show that there are only c many ultrafilters that are Tukey below any basically generated ultrafilter. The class of basically generated ultrafilters includes all known ultrafilters that are n...
متن کاملSpectra of Tukey Types of Ultrafilters on Boolean Algebras
Extending recent investigations on the structure of Tukey types of ultrafilters on P(ω) to Boolean algebras in general, we classify the spectra of Tukey types of ultrafilters for several classes of Boolean algebras. These include the classes of free Boolean algebras, superatomic Boolean algebras generated by almost disjoint families, interval algebras, tree algebras, and pseudo-tree algebras. W...
متن کاملSurvey on the Tukey Theory of Ultrafilters
This article surveys results regarding the Tukey theory of ultrafilters on countable base sets. The driving forces for this investigation are Isbell’s Problem and the question of how closely related the Rudin-Keisler and Tukey reducibilities are. We review work on the possible structures of cofinal types and conditions which guarantee that an ultrafilter is below the Tukey maximum. The known ca...
متن کاملA New Class of Ramsey-classification Theorems and Their Applications in the Tukey Theory of Ultrafilters, Part 2
Motivated by Tukey classification problems and building on work in Part 1 [5], we develop a new hierarchy of topological Ramsey spaces Rα, α < ω1. These spaces form a natural hierarchy of complexity, R0 being the Ellentuck space [7], and for each α < ω1, Rα+1 coming immediately after Rα in complexity. Associated with each Rα is an ultrafilter Uα, which is Ramsey for Rα, and in particular, is a ...

Motivated by Tukey classification problems and building on work in [4], we develop a new hierarchy of topological Ramsey spaces Rα, α < ω1. These spaces form a natural hierarchy of complexity, R0 being the Ellentuck space [6], and for each α < ω1, Rα+1 coming immediately afterRα in complexity. Associated with each Rα is an ultrafilter Uα, which is Ramsey for Rα, and in particular, is a rapid p-...
