dc.description.abstract | An introduction to the Stone-Čech compactification $\beta X$ of a normal topological space $X$ is given. The method of invariantly embedding linear orders into ultrapowers is used to find $2^{\mathfrak{c}}$ pairwise nonhomeomorphic continua in $\beta\mathbb{R}$, under the assumption that the Continuum Hypothesis fails. | en_US |
