Abstract: Gelfand-Naimark-Stone duality establishes a dual equivalence between the category $sfKHaus$ of compact Hausdorff spaces and the category $$ of uniformly complete bounded archimedean $ell$-algebras. We extend this duality to the category $sfCReg$ of completely regular spaces. This we do by first introducing basic extensions of bounded archimedean $ell$-algebras and generalizing Gelfand-Naimark-Stone duality to a dual equivalence between the category $$ of uniformly complete basic extensions and the category $sfC$ of compactifications of completely regular spaces. We then introduce maximal basic extensions and prove that the subcategory $$ of $$ consisting of maximal basic extensions is dually equivalent to the subcategory $sfSComp$ of $sfComp$ consisting of Stone-v{C}ech compactifications. This yields the desired dual equivalence for completely regular spaces since $sfCReg$ is equivalent to $sfSComp$.

Review text

Gelfand-Naimark-Stone duality established a dual equivalence between the category \textbf{KHaus} of compact Hausdorff spaces and the category \textit{uba}\(\ell\) of uniformly complete bounded archimedean \(\ell\)-algebras. The present paper extends this duality to the category \textbf{CReg} of completely regular spaces. The authors introduce basic extensions of bounded archimedean \(\ell\)-algebras and generalize the Gelfand-Naimark-Stone duality to a dual equivalence between the category \textit{ubasic} of uniformly complete basic extensions and the category \textbf{Comp} of compactifications of completely regular spaces. Subsequently they discuss maximal basic extensions and show that the subcategory \textit{mbasic} of \textit{ubasic} consisting of maximal basic extensions is dually equivalent to the subcategory \textbf{SComp} of \textbf{Comp} consisting of Stone-Čech compactifications. In this way they derive the stated dual equivalence for completely regular spaces. The paper contains a lot of background information and ends with some illustrating applications.
