Abstract

We compute the Szlenk index of an arbitrary projective tensor product C(K)^πC(L)C(K)\widehat{\otimes}_\pi C(L) of spaces C(K),C(L)C(K), C(L) of continuous functions on scattered, compact, Hausdorff spaces. In particular, we show that it is simply equal to the maximum of the Szlenk indices of the spaces C(K),C(L)C(K), C(L). We deduce several results regarding non-isomorphism of C(K)^πC(L)C(K)\widehat{\otimes}_\pi C(L) and C(M)C(M) or C(M)^πC(N)C(M)\widehat{\otimes}_\pi C(N) for particular choices of K,L,M,NK,L,M,N.
