Abstract

We establish some new properties of remainders of metrizable spaces. In particular, we show that if the weight of a metrizable space $X$ does not exceed $2^\omega $, then any remainder of $X$ in a Hausdorff compactification is a Lindelöf ${\mit \Sigma } $-space. An example of a metrizable space whose remainder in some compactification is not a Lindelöf ${\mit \Sigma } $-space is given. A new class of topological spaces naturally extending the class of Lindelöf ${\mit \Sigma } $-spaces is introduced and studied. This leads to the following theorem: if a metrizable space $X$ has a remainder $Y$ with a $G_\delta $-diagonal, then both $X$ and $Y$ are separable and metrizable. Some new results on remainders of topological groups are also established.
