Uniformities for Wallman compactifications and realcompactifications

From MaRDI portal





The author develops natural methods for constructing Wallman compactifications and Wallman realcompactifications of uniform spaces. Some of the many results obtained are the following. For a uniform space \(uX\) he constructs uniformities \(u^z_p\) and \(u^z_\omega\) whose completions coincide with the Wallman compactification \(\omega(X,\mathcal Z_u)=\beta_uX\) (\(\equiv\) a \(\beta\)-like compactification) and the Wallman realcompactification \(\upsilon(X,\mathcal Z_u)=\upsilon_uX\), respectively, where the normal base \(\mathcal Z _u=\{f^{-1}(0): f\in C^\ast(uX)\}\) (Theorems 2.6 and 2.12). In Theorems 2.8 and 2.14 equivalent conditions are given for a compactification (realcompactification) to be the Wallman compactification (realcompactification). In Theorem 3.3 he sharpens results on the partial order in the lattice of compactifications of a space. Relations between dimensions of (real) compacatifications are given. Several examples are also presented.
