Abstract

We use filter representations of the \({\mathcal {LUC}}\)-compactification of a topological group \(G\) and the Stone–Čech compactification of \(G_d\) to describe the continuous homomorphism \(\pi :\beta G_d \rightarrow G^{{\mathcal {LUC}}}\). We apply this method to study algebraic properties of \(G^{{\mathcal {LUC}}}\).
