Abstract
Answering a question of Dobrinen and Todorcevic, we prove that below any stable ordered-union ultrafilter , there are exactly four nonprincipal Tukey classes: , and . This parallels the classification of ultrafilters Rudin-Keisler below by Blass. A key step in the proof involves modifying the proof of a canonization theorem of Klein and Spinas for Borel functions on to obtain a simplified canonization theorem for fronts on , recovering Lefmann's canonization for fronts of finite uniformity rank as a special case. We use this to classify the Rudin-Keisler classes of all ultrafilters Tukey below , which is then applied to achieve the main result.
