A note on metric compactifications and periodic points of maps (Q390408)

In this interesting paper the author shows that if \(f: X \to X\) is any map of a finite-dimensional, locally compact and separable metrizable space \(X\), then there exists a metrizable compactification \(\gamma X\) of \(X\) and an extension \(\gamma f: \gamma X \to \gamma X\) of \(f\) such that \(\dim \gamma X = \dim X\), \(P_i(\gamma f) = Cl_{\gamma X} P_i (f)\) and \(\dim P_i(f) = \dim P_i (\gamma f)\) for each \(i \in \mathbb N\), where \(P_i(f) = \{x \in X : f^i(x) = x\}\).
