Abstract

One partially ordered set, QQ, is a Tukey quotient of another, PP, denoted PTQP \geq_T Q, if there is a map ϕ:PQ\phi : P \to Q carrying cofinal sets of PP to cofinal sets of QQ. Let XX be a space and denote by K(X)\mathcal{K}(X) the set of compact subsets of XX, ordered by inclusion. For certain separable metrizable spaces MM, Tukey upper and lower bounds of K(M)\mathcal{K}(M) are calculated. Results on invariants of K(M)\mathcal{K}(M)'s are deduced. The structure of all K(M)\mathcal{K}(M)'s under T\le_T is investigated. Particular emphasis is placed on the position of K(M)\mathcal{K}(M) when MM is: completely metrizable, the rationals Q\mathbb{Q}, co-analytic or analytic.
