Abstract

A space is nearly pseudocompact if and only if υX\X\upsilon X\backslash X is dense in βX\X\beta X\backslash X. If we denote K=clβX(υX\X)K=cl_{\beta X}(\upsilon X\backslash X), then δX=X(βX\K)\delta X=X\cup(\beta X\backslash K) is referred by Henriksen and Rayburn \cite{hr80} as nearly pseudocompact extension of XX. Henriksen and Rayburn studied the nearly pseudocompact extension using different properties of βX\beta X. In this paper our main motivation is to construct nearly pseudocompact extension of XX independently and not using any kind of extension property of βX\beta X. An alternative construction of βX\beta X is made by taking the family of all zz-ultrafilters on XX and then topologized in a suitable way. In this paper we also adopted the similar idea of constructing the δX\delta X from the scratch, taking the collection of all zz-ultrafilters on XX of some kind, called hzhz-ultrafilters, together with fixed zz-ultrafilter and then be topologized in the similar way what we do in the construction of βX.\beta X. We have further shown that the extension δX\delta X is unique with respect to certain properties.
