Abstract: Henle, Mathias, and Woodin proved that, provided that omegaightarrow(omega)omega holds in a model M of ZF, then forcing with ([omega]omega,subseteq) over M adds no new sets of ordinals, thus earning the name a "barren" extension. Moreover, under an additional assumption, they proved that this generic extension preserves all strong partition cardinals. This forcing thus produces a model M[mathcalU], where mathcalU is a Ramsey ultrafilter, with many properties of the original model M. This begged the question of how important the Ramseyness of mathcalU is for these results. In this paper, we show that several classes of sigma-closed forcings which generate non-Ramsey ultrafilters have the same properties. Such ultrafilters include Milliken-Taylor ultrafilters, a class of rapid p-points of Laflamme, k-arrow p-points of Baumgartner and Taylor, and extensions to a class of ultrafilters constructed by Dobrinen, Mijares and Trujillo. Furthermore, the class of Boolean algebras mathcalP(omegaalpha)/mathrmFinotimesalpha, 2lealpha<omega1, forcing non-p-points also produce barren extensions.
