Spaces $X$ with every compactification $0$-dimensional with $\beta X\setminus X$ not locally compact
Previously, in this post I've shown the following characterization of spaces with only zero-dimensional compactifications:
Theorem. Let $X$ be strongly zero-dimensional and $\beta X\setminus X$ ...

When is the "Gelfand Remainder" compact?
Suppose we have a noncompact Hausdorff space $S$ and a Banach algebra $A \subset C^*(S,\mathbb R)$ of the space of real-valued bounded functions on $S$. For niceness let's assume $A$ separates the ...

Can we express separability of a ray-remainder in terms of the function algebra?
Let $X = [0, 1)$ be a ray and $C(X)$ the algebra of bounded continuous real functions. The spectrum of $C(X)$ is the Stone-Cech compactification $\beta [0,1) $ of the ray. It's easy to see the ...
