Other Compactification Theories
- The theories of ends of a space and prime ends.
- 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.
- The Baily-Borel compactification of a quotient of a hermitean symmetric space.
- The wonderful compactification of a quotient of algebraic groups.

Famous quotes containing the word theories:
“The real trouble about women is that they must always go on trying to adapt themselves to men’s theories of women, as they always have done. When a woman is thoroughly herself, she is being what her type of man wants her to be. When a woman is hysterical it’s because she doesn’t quite know what to be, which pattern to follow, which man’s picture of woman to live up to.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
