𝓤-filters and uniform compactification

Tomi Alaste (2012)

Studia Mathematica

We show that the uniform compactification of a uniform space (X,𝓤) can be considered as a space of filters on X. We apply these filters to study the ℒ𝓤𝓒-compactification of a topological group.

Generalized linearly ordered spaces and weak pseudocompactness

Oleg Okunev, Angel Tamariz-Mascarúa (1997)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A space X is truly weakly pseudocompact if X is either weakly pseudocompact or Lindelöf locally compact. We prove that if X is a generalized linearly ordered space, and either (i) each proper open interval in X is truly weakly pseudocompact, or (ii) X is paracompact and each point of X has a truly weakly pseudocompact neighborhood, then X is truly weakly pseudocompact. We also answer a question about weakly pseudocompact spaces posed by F. Eckertson in [Eck].

Geometry of compactifications of locally symmetric spaces

Lizhen Ji, Robert Macpherson (2002)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

For a locally symmetric space M , we define a compactification M M ( ) which we call the “geodesic compactification”. It is constructed by adding limit points in M ( ) to certain geodesics in M . The geodesic compactification arises in other contexts. Two general constructions of Gromov for an ideal boundary of a Riemannian manifold give M ( ) for locally symmetric spaces. Moreover, M ( ) has a natural group theoretic construction using the Tits building. The geodesic compactification plays two fundamental roles in...

H-closed extensions with countable remainder

Daniel K. McNeill (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

This paper investigates necessary and sufficient conditions for a space to have an H-closed extension with countable remainder. For countable spaces we are able to give two characterizations of those spaces admitting an H-closed extension with countable remainder. The general case is more difficult, however, we arrive at a necessary condition — a generalization of Čech completeness, and several sufficient conditions for a space to have an H-closed extension with countable remainder. In particular,...
