Sailing over three problems of Koszmider

Functional Analysis 2020-04-08 v2

Abstract

We discuss three problems of Koszmider on the structure of the spaces of continuous functions on the Stone compact KAK_{\mathcal A} generated by an almost disjoint family A\mathcal A of infinite subsets of ω\omega -- we present a solution to two problems and develop a previous results of Marciszewski and Pol answering the third one. We will show, in particular, that assuming Martin's axiom the space C(KA)C(K_{\mathcal A}) is uniquely determined up to isomorphism by the cardinality of A\mathcal A whenever A<c|{\mathcal A}|<{\mathfrak c}, while there are 2c2^{\mathfrak c} nonisomorphic spaces C(KA)C(K_{\mathcal A}) with A=c|{\mathcal A}|= {\mathfrak c}. We also investigate Koszmider's problems in the context of the class of separable Rosenthal compacta and indicate the meaning of our results in the language of twisted sums of c0c_0 and some C(K)C(K) spaces.
