Abstract

It is proved that for every positive integer n, the number of non-Tukey-equivalent directed sets of cardinality ≤ ℵn is at least cn+2, the (n+2)-Catalan number. Moreover, the Tukey class \mathcal Dn of directed sets of cardinality ≤ ℵn contains an isomorphic copy of the poset of Dyck (n+2)-paths. Furthermore, we give a complete description whether two successive elements in the copy contain another directed set in between or not.
