		One of the fundamental methods in compactification theory is Aleksandrov's method of centred systems of open sets [7], which was initially used for the construction of the maximal compactification, and was subsequently extensively utilized by many mathematicians.
		The concept of a compactification is useful in the study of the dimension of the remainder.

	Compactification (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The mechanism behind this type of compactification is described by the Kaluza-Klein theory, under the name compact dimension.
		It assumes that the shape of the internal manifold is a Calabi-Yau manifold or generalized Calabi-Yau manifold which is equipped with non-zero values of fluxes, i.e.
		The hypothetical concept of the anthropic landscape in string theory follows from a large number of possibilities in which the integers that characterize the fluxes can be chosen without violating rules of string theory.

	Looking for extra dimensions
		The most studied superstring compactification is heterotic string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau space in six-dimensions (or three complex dimensions).
		This avoids the situation in the Kaluza-Klein compactification where the Planck mass in four spacetime dimensions depends on the volume of the compactified space, which is hard to control dynamically.
		In superstring theory with Kaluza-Klein compactification, there are several different energy scales that come into play in going from a string theory to a low energy effective particle theory that is consistent with observed particle physics and cosmology.

		In string theory, compactification refers to "curling up" the extra dimensions (six in the superstring theory), usually on Calabi-Yau spaces or on orbifolds.
		The mechanism behind this type of compactification is described by the Kaluza-Klein theory.
		The formulation of more precise versions of the meaning of compactification in this context has been promoted by discoveries such as the mysterious duality.

		The resolution to this comes with the idea of compactification: 6 out of the 9 spatial dimensions need to be taken small and compact.
		A particularly important class of 6 dimensional manifolds used in string compactification is known as Calabi-Yau manifolds.
		However, it was not found so far a suitable compactification scheme which results are in complete agreement with experiment (eg, masses of elementary particles).

	Looking for extra dimensions
		In string theory, Kaluza-Klein compactification of the extra dimensions has one important difference from the particle theory version.
		Supersymmetry breaking and compactification of higher dimensions have to work together to give the low energy physics we observe in accelerator detectors.
		Braneworld models in general are very different from superstring Kaluza-Klein compactification models because they don't require there to be so many steps between the Planck scale and the electroweak scale.

		Since it is via compactification, which yields local non-Abelian gauge symmetries, and other symmetry groups (to describe all the known particles and forces, plus some unknow ones), the mathematical treatment will be presented in the followings for a better understanding of the subject.
		This is similar to the Kaluza-Klein compactification when a dimension was compactified on a circle with components of the 26-dimensional metric tensor.
		Orbifold compactification is the simplest and it preserves the equation of string in its simple form.

		Abstract. In this paper we introduce GF-compactifications, which are compactifications of GF-spaces (a new notion introduced by the authors).
		We study properties of this new kind of compactification and prove that every GF-compactification is of Wallman type.
		We also prove that every metrizable compactification of a metric space $X$ is a GF-compactification and, as a corollary, that every metric compactification is of Wallman type, giving a new proof of a result that dates back to Aarts.

		By the universal property of the Stone-Cech compactification, for the inclusion map f: X \subset I, and since Y is compact Hausdorff, there exists a map q:BX \to Y such that the composition of the natural map X \to BX followed by q coincides with f.
		In this case (at least) BX is called the Stone-Cech compactification of X.

		In particular I will go over the construction of the Stone-Cech compactification of a discrete space as a set of ultrafilters.
		Abstract: I will show how to extend the operation on a discrete semigroup (such as (N,+), which is the granddaddy of all semigroups) to its Stone-Cech compactification so that the compactification becomes a right topological semigroup.
		This will include results whose first proofs were elementary but complicated, other results first proved using the algebra of beta N for which elementary proofs have subsequently been found, and results that appear unlikely to succumb to elementary proofs in the foreseeable future.

		We stratify the canonical compactification, identifying the difieomorphism types of the strata in terms of spaces of configurations in the tangent bundle, and give completely explicit local coordinates around the strata as needed to define a manifold with corners.
		We analyze the quotient map from the canonical to the simplicial compactification, showing it is a homotopy equivalence.
