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

Y_{1}

and

Y_{2}

of

X

are said to be equivalent, if there exists a homeomorphism

f : Y_{1} i g h t a r r o w Y_{2}

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

Y_{1}

and

Y_{2}

of

X

, we write

Y_{2} l e q Y_{1}

, if there exists a continuous function

f : Y_{1} i g h t a r r o w Y_{2}

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), l e q)

. 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

.

Review text

The paper consists of seven sections. Section 1 (introduction) contains some needed definitions, notations, terminology and a brief survey of the paper. In the section 2 (the partially ordered set of one-point Tikhonov extensions of a locally compact space) the author defines some sets of one-point extensions, establishes some order-isomorphism \(\mu\), and as a result, he shows that the order structure of some of them corresponds to the topology of \(X^*=\beta X\setminus X\). Section 3 (the case when \(X\) is locally compact and paracompact) is a continuation of section 2. Section 4 (the relation between various subsets of one-point extensions of a locally compact space) ``deals with the order theoretic relations between various sets of one-point extensions of the space \(X\). In section 5 (the existence of minimal and maximal elements in various sets of one-point extensions), the author finds a sufficient condition that some of the sets of one-point extensions admits maximal or minimal elements. In section 6 (some cardinality theorems) the author finds a lower bound for cardinalities of two of the sets of one-point extensions introduced before. And finally, in section 7 (some applications) the author defines an order-isomorphism from the set of all Tikhonov extensions of a Tikhonov space \(X\) into the set of all ideals of \(C^*(X)\), partially ordered with inclusion and applies it to obtain some additional results.
