An isomorphism of the Wallman and Čech-Stone compactifications
An isomorphism of the Wallman and Čech-Stone compactifications
For a metrizable topological space X it is well known that in general the Čech-Stone compactification β(X) or the Wallman compactification W(X) are not metrizable. To remedy this fact one can alternatively associate a point-set distance to the metric, a so called approach distance. It is known that in this …
