On the G-compactification of products

Jan de Vries

Vol. 110 (1984), No. 2, 447–470
Abstract

Let βGX denote the maximal equivariant compactification (G-compactification) of the G-space X (i.e. a topological space X, completely regular and Hausdorff, on which the topological group G acts as a continuous transformation group). If G is locally compact and locally connected, then we show that βG(X × Y ) = βGX × βGY if and only if X × Y is what we call G-pseudocompact, provided X and Y satisfy a certain non-triviality condition. This result generalizes Glicksberg’s well-known result about Stone-Čech compactifications of products to the case of topological transformation groups.
