If we denote $K=cl_{\\beta X}(\\upsilon X\\backslash X)$, then $\\delta X=X\\cup(\\beta X\\backslash K)$ is referred by Henriksen and Rayburn \\cite{hr80} as nearly pseudocompact extension of $X$. Henriksen and Rayburn studied the nearly pseudocompact extension using different properties of $\\beta X$. In this paper our main motivation is to construct nearly pseudocompact extension of $X$ independently and not using any kind of extension property of $\\beta X$. An alternative construction of $\\beta X$ is made by taking the family of all $z$-ultrafilters on $X$ and then topologized in a suitable way. In this paper we also adopted the similar idea of constructing the $\\delta X$ from the scratch, taking the collection of all $z$-ultrafilters on $X$ of some kind, called $hz$-ultrafilters, together with fixed $z$-ultrafilter and then be topologized in the similar way what we do in the construction of $\\beta X.$ We have further shown that the extension $\\delta X$ is unique with respect to certain properties.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-17T02:52:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "pseudocompact extension", "ultrafilter", "pseudocompactification", "similar way", "main motivation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
