Regular-closed spaces and proximities

Douglas Harris

Vol. 34 (1970), No. 3, 675–685
Abstract

The theory of the compactifications of a completely regular space has been elucidated in recent years by the theory of proximities, introduced by Efremovič and developed especially by Smirnov. The two fundamental results are that a space has a compactification if and only if it has the topology of some proximity, and that there is a one-to-one correspondence from the collection of compactifications of a space onto the collection of proximities that give the topology of the space. We shall generalize these results to a larger class of spaces, which are related to the regular-closed spaces in the same manner as completely regular spaces are related to compact spaces.
