Extract

All spaces considered in this paper are Hausdorff. θX is a compactification of a completely regular space X means that X is identified with a dense subspace of θX. We shall thus always regard X to be contained in θX. A compactification θX of X is zero-dimension (countable) if its ‘outgrowth” θX ~ X is zero-dimensional (countable).
