Open and other kinds of extensions over zero-dimensional local compactifications

Generalizing a theorem of Ph. Dwinger, we describe the partially ordered set of all (up to equivalence) zero-dimensional locally compact Hausdorff extensions of a zero-dimensional Hausdorff space. Using this description, we find the necessary and sufficient conditions which has to satisfy a map between two zero-dimensional Hausdorff spaces in order to have some kind of extension over arbitrary given in advance Hausdorff zero-dimensional local compactifications of these spaces; we regard the following kinds of extensions: continuous, open, quasi-open, skeletal, perfect, injective, surjective. In this way we generalize some classical results of B. Banaschewski about the maximal zero-dimensional Hausdorff compactification. Extending a recent theorem of G. Bezhanishvili, we describe the local proximities corresponding to the zero-dimensional Hausdorff local compactifications.
