- Some 'boundary' theories such as the collaring of an open manifold, Martin boundary, Shilov boundary and Fürstenberg boundary.
- The Bohr compactification of a topological group arises from the consideration of almost periodic functions.
- One can compactify a topological ring by forming a projective line with inversive ring geometry.

Famous quotes containing the word theories:
“The two most far-reaching critical theories at the beginning of the latest phase of industrial society were those of Marx and Freud. Marx showed the moving powers and the conflicts in the social-historical process. Freud aimed at the critical uncovering of the inner conflicts. Both worked for the liberation of man, even though Marx’s concept was more comprehensive and less time-bound than Freud’s.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
