The Banach algebra of continuous bounded functions with separable support

M. R. Koushesh (2012)

Studia Mathematica

We prove a commutative Gelfand-Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set C s ( X ) of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space X (provided with the supremum norm) is a Banach algebra, isometrically isomorphic to C₀(Y) for some unique (up to homeomorphism) locally compact Hausdorff space Y. The space Y, which we explicitly construct as a subspace of the Stone-Čech compactification of X, is countably compact, and if X is non-separable,...

The category of compactifications and its coreflections

Anthony W. Hager, Brian Wynne (2022)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

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

The minimum uniform compactification of a metric space

R. Grant Woods (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It is shown that associated with each metric space (X,d) there is a compactification u d X of X that can be characterized as the smallest compactification of X to which each bounded uniformly continuous real-valued continuous function with domain X can be extended. Other characterizations of u d X are presented, and a detailed study of the structure of u d X is undertaken. This culminates in a topological characterization of the outgrowth u d n n , where ( n , d ) is Euclidean n-space with its usual metric.

The partially pre-ordered set of compactifications of Cp(X, Y)

A. Dorantes-Aldama, R. Rojas-Hernández, Á. Tamariz-Mascarúa (2015)

Topological Algebra and its Applications

In the set of compactifications of X we consider the partial pre-order defined by (W, h) ≤X (Z, g) if there is a continuous function f : Z ⇢ W, such that (f ∘ g)(x) = h(x) for every x ∈ X. Two elements (W, h) and (Z, g) of K(X) are equivalent, (W, h) ≡X (Z, g), if there is a homeomorphism h : W ! Z such that (f ∘ g)(x) = h(x) for every x ∈ X. We denote by K(X) the upper semilattice of classes of equivalence of compactifications of X defined by ≤X and ≡X. We analyze in this article K(Cp(X, Y)) where...
