Abstract: Associated to each ultrafilter mathcalU on omega and each map p:omegaightarrowomega is a Dedekind cut in the ultrapower omegaomega/p(mathcalU). Blass has characterized, under CH, the cuts obtainable when mathcalU is taken to be either a p-point ultrafilter, a weakly-Ramsey ultrafilter or a Ramsey ultrafilter. Dobrinen and Todorcevic have introduced the topological Ramsey space mathcalR1. Associated to the space mathcalR1 is a notion of Ramsey ultrafilter for mathcalR1 generalizing the familiar notion of Ramsey ultrafilter on omega. We characterize, under CH, the cuts obtainable when mathcalU is taken to be a Ramsey for mathcalR1 ultrafilter and p is taken to be any map. In particular, we show that the only cut obtainable is the standard cut, whose lower half consists of the collection of equivalence classes of constants maps. Forcing with mathcalR1 using almost-reduction adjoins an ultrafilter which is Ramsey for mathcalR1. For such ultrafilters mathcalU1, Dobrinen and Todorcevic have shown that the Rudin-Keisler types of the p-points within the Tukey type of mathcalU1 consists of a strictly increasing chain of rapid p-points of order type omega. We show that for any Rudin-Keisler mapping between any two p-points within the Tukey type of mathcalU1 the only cut obtainable is the standard cut. These results imply existence theorems for special kinds of ultrafilters.
