[For the entire collection see Zbl 0755.00022.] Different extensions of integers (\(p\)-adic, Novoselov's polyadic, Bohr compactification) have been used in several parts of number theory. This paper proposes a method which applies the largest of all, the Stone- Čech compactification \(\beta\mathbb{N}\) (which has been successfully applied to certain problems of combinatorial number theory) to probabilistic number theory. Densities are connected with measures on \(\beta\mathbb{N}\), and the arising \(L^ p\) spaces are studied. As an application, a new proof of a theorem of a result of Bakstys, Galambos and Levin, Timofeev, Tulyaganov on the limiting distribution of real multiplicative functions is sketched. It remains to be seen whether this approach can lead to new results in probabilistic number theory.
