Abstract

We show that:

(1) It is provable in $\textbf{ZF}$ (i.e., Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory minus the Axiom of Choice $\textbf{AC}$) that every compact scattered T$_{2}$ topological space is zero-dimensional.

(2) If every countable union of countable sets of reals is countable, then a countable compact T$_{2}$ space is scattered iff it is metrizable.

(3) If the real line $\mathbb{R}$ can be expressed as a well-ordered union of well-orderable sets, then every countable compact zero-dimensional T$_{2}$ space is scattered.

(4) It is not provable in $\textbf{ZF}$+$\neg$$\textbf{AC}$ that there exists a countable compact T$_{2}$ space which is dense-in-itself.
