Tukey order among $F_{\sigma}$ ideals

Logic 2021-03-17 v2 General Topology

Abstract

We investigate the Tukey order in the class of FσF_\sigma ideals of subsets of ω\omega. We show that no nontrivial FσF_\sigma ideal is Tukey below a GδG_\delta ideal of compact sets. We introduce the notions of flat ideals and gradually flat ideals. We prove a dichotomy theorem for flat ideals isolating gradual flatness as the side of the dichotomy that is structurally good. We give diverse characterizations of gradual flatness among flat ideals using Tukey reductions and games. For example, we show that gradually flat ideals are precisely those flat ideals that are Tukey below the ideal of density zero sets.
