We define “the category of compactifications”, which is denoted , and consider its family of coreflections, denoted . We show that is a complete lattice with bottom the identity and top an interpretation of the Čech–Stone . A implies the assignment to each locally compact, noncompact a compactification minimum for membership in the “object-range” of . We describe the minimum proper compactifications of locally compact, noncompact spaces, show that these generate...
