Abstract: If a Tychonoff space X is dense in a Tychonoff space Y, then Y is called a Tychonoff extension of X. Two Tychonoff extensions Y1 and Y2 of X are said to be equivalent, if there exists a homeomorphism f:Y1ightarrowY2 which keeps X pointwise fixed. This defines an equivalence relation on the class of all Tychonoff extensions of X. We identify those extensions of X which belong to the same equivalence classes. For two Tychonoff extensions Y1 and Y2 of X, we write Y2leqY1, if there exists a continuous function f:Y1ightarrowY2 which keeps X pointwise fixed. This is a partial order on the set of all Tychonoff extensions of X. If a Tychonoff extension Y of X is such that is a singleton, then Y is called a one-point extension of X. Let T(X) denote the set of all one-point extensions of X. We study the order structure of the partially ordered set (T(X),leq). For a locally compact space X, we define an order-anti-isomorphism from T(X) onto the set of all non-empty closed subsets of . We consider various sets of one-point extensions, including the set of all one-point locally compact extensions of X, the set of all one-point Lindelof extensions of X, the set of all one-point pseudocompact extensions of X, and the set of all one-point Cech-complete extensions of X, among others. We study how these sets of one-point extensions are related, and investigate the relation between their order structure, and the topology of subspaces of . We find some lower bounds for cardinalities of some of these sets of one-point extensions, and in a concluding section, we show how some of our results may be applied to obtain relations between the order structure of certain subfamilies of ideals of C*(X) and the topology of subspaces of .
