Abstract: A filter F on w is called Fr'echet-Urysohn if the space with only one non-isolated point wcupF is a Fr'echet-Urysohn space, where the neighborhoods of the non-isolated point are determined by the elements of F. In this paper, we distinguish some Fr'echet-Urysohn filters by using two pre-orderings of filters: One is the Rudin-Keisler pre-order and the other one was introduced by Todorv{c}evi'c-Uzc'ategui in cite{tu05}. In this paper, we construct an RK-chain of size c+ which is RK-above of avery FU-filter. Also, we show that there is an infinite RK-antichain of FU-filters.


In this paper the authors study Fréchet-Urysohn filters \(\mathcal F\) on \(\omega\), where \(\mathcal F\) is called Fréchet-Urysohn if the space with only one non-isolated point \(\omega\cup\mathcal F\) is a Fréchet-Urysohn space such that the neighborhoods of the non-isolated point are determined by the elements of \(\mathcal F\). Then some Fréchet-Urysohn filters are distinguished by using the Rudin-Keisler pre-order, RK-order in short, and the Todorčević-Uzcátegui pre-order, TU-order in short. In this context some combinatorical properties are presented, which are equivalent to the RK-order and the TU-order, respectively. Consequently, these orders are compared in the following section, and it is shown that in the category of FU-filters the TU-order is finer than the RK-order. But in a general context, meaning without restrictions on the filters, the orders are not compatible which is demonstrated by some suitable examples. Then in addition the authors construct an RK-chain of size \(\mathfrak{c}^+\), which is RK-above of each FU-filter. Finally the RK-incomparability of certain FU-filters is studied where besides an infinite RK-antichain of FU-filters is presented.
