Non-trivial convergent sequence in Stone-Čech compactification of $\mathbb{N}$

This result follows from much stronger results from general topology. These results can be found in [1]. $\mathbf{Theorem}$ Each non-discrete closed subset of $\beta X\setminus\upsilon X$ conta …

Non-trivial convergent sequence in Stone-Čech compactification of $\mathbb{N}$

Let me give a fairly direct proof. Assume $R=(\mathcal{U}_{n})_{n}$ is a sequence of distinct ultrafilters on some set $X$. Since every infinite Hausdorff space has an infinite discrete subspace, ther …

Stone–Čech Compactification of $\mathbb{Z}$ with Fürstenberg Topology

We can also describe $\beta(\mathbb{Z},\mathcal{T})$ in terms of ultrafilters on Boolean algebras. I claim that $\beta(\mathbb{Z},\mathcal{T})$ is the space of ultrafilters on the Boolean algebra of c …

When are the zero sets of two continuous functions in the Stone-Čech compactification includ...

Lemma: Suppose that $X$ is a compact Hausdorff space. Let $f,g:X\rightarrow[0,\infty)$ be continuous functions. Then the following are equivalent: $Z(f)\subseteq Z(g)$. For all $\epsilon>0$, there e …

Sigma algebras on the Stone–Čech compactification of a countable discrete group

No. First of all, take note that for compact zero-dimensional spaces $X$, the $\sigma$-algebra generated by all clopen sets is precisely the $\sigma$-algebra of Baire sets (recall that in a completel …
