Abstract

We show that PFA implies that the tightness t(Xδ) of the Gδ-modification of a Fréchet α1-space X is at most ω1, while (κ) implies that there is a Fréchet α1-space with Gδ-tightness equal to κ. We use the example constructed from (κ) to show that a local version of the bound t(Xδ) ≤ 2t(X)L(X) does not hold. We also construct, assuming MA, an example of a Fréchet space whose Gδ-tightness is larger than ω1.
