This is an announcement for the paper "Weak$^*$ dentability index of spaces $C([0,\alpha])$" by Petr Hajek, Gilles Lancien and Antonin Prochazka.
Abstract: We compute the weak$^*$-dentability index of the spaces $C(K)$ where $K$ is a countable compact space. Namely $\mbox{Dz}(C([0,\omega^{\omega^\alpha}])) = \omega^{1+\alpha+1}$, whenever $0\le\alpha<\omega_1$. More generally, $\mbox{Dz}(C(K))=\omega^{1+\alpha+1}$ if $K$ is a scattered compact whose height $\eta(K)$ satisfies $\omega^\alpha<\eta(K)\leq \omega^{\alpha+1}$ with an $\alpha$ countable.
