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 α X and γX of X are equivalent if there is a homeomorphism from α X 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 α X ≦ γX if there is a continuous map from γX onto α X that fixes X pointwise.
