LetXbe a completely regular, Hausdorff space and letRbe the set of points inXwhich do not possess compact neighborhoods. AssumeRis compact. IfXhas a compactification with a countable remainder, then so does the quotientX/R, and a countable compactificatlon ofX/Rimplies one forX−R. A characterization of whenX/Rhas a compactification with a countable remainder is obtained. Examples show that the above implications cannot be reversed.

A problem which has generated considerable interest during the past couple of decades is that of characterizing abstractly systems of realvalued continuous functions with various algebraic or topological-algebraic structures. With few exceptions known characterizations are of systems of bounded continuous functions on compact or locally compact spaces. Only recently have characterizations been given of the systems C(X) of all realvalued continuous functions on an arbitrary completely regular space X (1). One of the main objects of this paper is to provide, by using certain special techniques, a characterization of C(X) for a particular class of (not necessarily compact) completely regular spaces.

Let X be a locally compact Hausdorff topological space. A compactification of X is a compact Hausdorff space which contains X as a dense subspace. Two compactifications αX and γX of X are equivalent if there is a homeomorphism from αX onto γX that fixes X pointwise. We shall identify equivalent compactifications of a given space. If is a family of compactifications of X, we can partially order by saying that αX ≦ γX if there is a continuous map from γX onto αX that fixes X pointwise.

AbstractLet X be a locally compact, completely regular Hausdorff space. In this paper it is shown that all compact metric spaces are remainders of X if and only if the quotient ring C*(X)/C∞(X) contains a subring having no primitive idempotents.

AbstractThis note provides a correct proof of the result claimed by the second author that locally compact normal spaces are collectionwise Hausdorff in certain models obtained by forcing with a coherent Souslin tree. A novel feature of the proof is the use of saturation of the non-stationary ideal on ω1, as well as of a strong form of Chang's Conjecture. Together with other improvements, this enables the consistent characterization of locally compact hereditarily paracompact spaces as those locally compact, hereditarily normal spaces that do not include a copy of ω1.

AbstractWe study Tychonoff spaces X with the property that, for all topological embeddings X → Y, the induced map C(Y ) → C(X) is an epimorphism of rings. Such spaces are called absolute 𝒞ℛ-epic. The simplest examples of absolute 𝒞ℛ-epic spaces are σ-compact locally compact spaces and Lindelöf P-spaces. We show that absolute CR-epic first countable spaces must be locally compact.However, a “bad” class of absolute CR-epic spaces is exhibited whose pathology settles, in the negative, a number of open questions. Spaces which are not absolute CR-epic abound, and some are presented.
