Abstract

It is well known that the Wallman-type compactifications of a Tychonoff space X can be obtained as spaces of all regular zero-one measures on suitable lattices of subsets of X (see [1, 2, 4, 12]). Using the technique developed in [5, 6], we find for any Tychonoff space X a Boolean algebra [Bscr ]X and a set [Lscr ]X of sublattices of [Bscr ]X having the following property: for any Hausdorff compactification cX of X there exists a (unique) LcX ∈ [Lscr ]X such that the maximal spectrum of LcX and the space of all u-regular zero-one measures on the Boolean subalgebra b(LcX) of [Bscr ]X, generated by LcX, are Hausdorff compactifications of X equivalent to cX. Let us give more details now.
