Abstract: The generic ultrafilter mathcalG2 forced by mathcalP(omegaimesomega)/(FinotimesFin) was recently proved to be neither maximum nor minimum in the Tukey order of ultrafilters (in a recent paper of Blass, Dobrinen, and Raghavan), but it was left open where exactly in the Tukey order it lies. We prove that mathcalG2 is in fact Tukey minimal over its projected Ramsey ultrafilter. Furthermore, we prove that for each kge2, the collection of all nonprincipal ultrafilters Tukey reducible to the generic ultrafilter mathcalGk forced by mathcalP(omegak)/Finotimesk forms a chain of length k. Essential to the proof is the extraction of a dense subset mathcalEk from (Finotimesk)+ which we prove to be a topological Ramsey space. The spaces mathcalEk, kge2, form a hiearchy of high dimensional Ellentuck spaces. New Ramsey-classification theorems for equivalence relations on fronts on mathcalEk are proved, extending the Pudlak-Rodl Theorem for fronts on the Ellentuck space, which are applied to find the Tukey structure below mathcalGk.
