Stone-Čech compactification #

Construction of the Stone-Čech compactification using ultrafilters.

For any topological space α, we build a compact Hausdorff space StoneCech α and a continuous map stoneCechUnit : α → StoneCech α which is minimal in the sense of the following universal property: for any compact Hausdorff space β and every map f : α → β such that hf : Continuous f, there is a unique map stoneCechExtend hf : StoneCech α → β such that stoneCechExtend_extends : stoneCechExtend hf ∘ stoneCechUnit = f. Continuity of this extension is asserted by continuous_stoneCechExtend and uniqueness by stoneCech_hom_ext.

Beware that the terminology “extend” is slightly misleading since stoneCechUnit is not always injective, so one cannot always think of α as being “inside” its compactification StoneCech α.

Implementation notes #

Parts of the formalization are based on “Ultrafilters and Topology” by Marius Stekelenburg, particularly section 5. However the construction in the general case is different because the equivalence relation on spaces of ultrafilters described by Stekelenburg causes issues with universes since it involves a condition on all compact Hausdorff spaces. We replace it by a two steps construction. The first step called PreStoneCech guarantees the expected universal property but not the Hausdorff condition. We then define StoneCech α as t2Quotient (PreStoneCech α).
