On modal logics arising from scattered locally compact Hausdorff spaces

For a topological space X, let $\mathsf{L}(X)$ be the modal logic of X where □ is interpreted as interior (and hence ◇ as closure) in X. It was shown in 3] that the modal logics S4, S4.1, S4.2, S4.1.2, S4.Grz, ${\mathsf{S4}.\mathsf{Grz}}_n$ ($n\ge 1$), and their intersections arise as $\mathsf{L}(X)$ for some Stone space X. We give an example of a scattered Stone space whose logic is not such an intersection. This gives an affirmative answer to 3, Question 6.2]. On the other hand, we show that a scattered Stone space that is in addition hereditarily paracompact does not give rise to a new logic; namely we show that the logic of such a space is either S4.Grz or ${\mathsf{S4}.\mathsf{Grz}}_n$ for some $n\ge 1$. In fact, we prove this result for any scattered locally compact open hereditarily collectionwise normal and open hereditarily strongly zero-dimensional space.
