Remarks on the set of \(G_\delta \)-points in Eberlein and Corson compact spaces (Q1019152)

Given a compact space \(K\), let \(FC(K)\) denote the set of all \(G_\delta\)-points of \(K\). It is well known that if \(K\) is Eberlein compact, i.e., \(K\) is homeomorphic to a weakly compact subset of a Banach space, then \(K\) contains a dense metrizable \(G_\delta\)-subspace. As a corollary, in this case, \(FC(K)\) contains a dense metrizable \(G_\delta\)-subspace. Nonetheless, \textit{D.\,Jardón} and \textit{V.\,V.\thinspace Tkachuk} constructed in [Bol.\ Soc.\ Mat.\ Mex., III.\ Ser.\ 10, No.\,2, 209--218 (2004; Zbl 1127.54013)] an example of an Eberlein compact space such that \(FC(K)\) is neither metrizable nor a \(G_\delta\)-subset of \(K\). This motivated Tkachuk to ask the following questions in [Topology Appl.\ 154, No.\,12, 2465--2493 (2007; Zbl 1131.54021)]: Let \(K\) be a scattered compactum. Must \(FC(K)\) be a \(G_\delta\)-subset of \(K\)? Is \(FC(K)\) metrizable? In the present, well written paper, the authors solve these two questions. It is shown that the first question has an affirmative answer and the second one has a negative answer. Moreover, the authors also construct an example of a Corson compact space \(K\) such that \(FC(K)\) does not contain any dense \(G_\delta\)-subset of \(K\). This solves another question posed by Tkachuk in the above mentioned paper.
