Abstract: Motivated by a Tukey classification problem we develop here a new topological Ramsey space mathcalR1 that in its complexity comes immediately after the classical is a natural Ellentuck space cite{MR0349393}. Associated with mathcalR1 is an ultrafilter mathcalU1 which is weakly Ramsey but not Ramsey. We prove a canonization theorem for equivalence relations on fronts on mathcalR1. This is analogous to the Pudlak-Rodl Theorem canonizing equivalence relations on barriers on the Ellentuck space. We then apply our canonization theorem to completely classify all Rudin-Keisler equivalence classes of ultrafilters which are Tukey reducible to mathcalU1: Every ultrafilter which is Tukey reducible to mathcalU1 is isomorphic to a countable iteration of Fubini products of ultrafilters from among a fixed countable collection of ultrafilters. Moreover, we show that there is exactly one Tukey type of nonprincipal ultrafilters strictly below that of mathcalU1, namely the Tukey type a Ramsey ultrafilter.
