Abstract. In this paper, we show that every compactification, which is a quasi-F space, of a space X is a Wallman compactification and that for any compactification K of the space X, the minimal quasi-F cover QF K of K is also a Wallman compactification of the inverse image Φ −1 K (X) of the space X under the covering map Φ K : QF K −→ K. Using these, we show that for any space X, βQF X = QF βυX and that a realcompact space X is a projective object in the category Rcomp # of all realcompact spaces and their z # -irreducible maps if and only if X is a quasi-F space.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
