$G_\delta$-refinements

Abstract

In this work we deal with the preservation by $G_\delta$-refinements. We prove that for $\mathrm{SP}$-scattered spaces the metacompactness, paralindel\"ofness, metalindel\"ofness and linear lindel\"ofness are preserved by $G_\delta$-refinements. In this context we also consider some other generalizations of discrete spaces like $\omega$-scattered and $N$-scattered. In the final part of this paper we look at a question of Juh\'asz, Soukup, Szentmikl\'ossy and Weiss concerning the tighness of the $G_\delta$-refinement of a $\sigma$-product.
