Abstract
We show that if we assume Martin’s Axiom, then there exists a nontrivial twisted sum of $c_0$ and $C(K)$ for every compact space $K$ with finite height and weight at least continuum. This result settles the problem of existence of nontrivial twisted sums of $c_0$ and $C(K)$ for finite height spaces $K$ under Martin’s Axiom.
