  • Beschreibung: <p>We provide some conditions as to when <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper K left-parenthesis upper X right-parenthesis approximately-equals upper K left-parenthesis upper Y right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> <mml:mo>≅<!-- ≅ --></mml:mo> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">K(X) \cong K(Y)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> for two locally compact spaces <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper X"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">X</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> and <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper Y"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">Y</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> (where <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper K left-parenthesis upper X right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">K(X)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> is the lattice of all Hausdorff compactifications of <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper X"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">X</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>). More specifically, we prove that <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper K left-parenthesis upper X right-parenthesis approximately-equals upper K left-parenthesis upper Y right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> <mml:mo>≅<!-- ≅ --></mml:mo> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">K(X) \cong K(Y)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> if and only if <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper C Superscript asterisk Baseline left-parenthesis upper X right-parenthesis slash upper C 0 left-parenthesis upper X right-parenthesis approximately-equals upper C Superscript asterisk Baseline left-parenthesis upper Y right-parenthesis slash upper C 0 left-parenthesis upper Y right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>C</mml:mi> <mml:mo>∗<!-- ∗ --></mml:mo> </mml:msup> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>C</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> <mml:mo>≅<!-- ≅ --></mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>C</mml:mi> <mml:mo>∗<!-- ∗ --></mml:mo> </mml:msup> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>C</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">C^*(X)/C_0(X) \cong C^*(Y)/C_0(Y)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>. Using this result, we prove several extensions to the case where <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper K left-parenthesis upper X right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">K(X)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> is embedded as a sub-lattice of <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper K left-parenthesis upper Y right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">K(Y)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> and to where <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper X"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">X</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> and <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper Y"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">Y</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> are not locally compact. One major contribution is in the use of function algebra techniques. The use of these techniques makes the extensions simple and clean and brings new tools to the subject.</p>
