absolutely-closed space

A Hausdorff space which, under any topological imbedding into an arbitrary Hausdorff space , is a closed set in . The characteristic property of an -closed space is that any open covering of the space contains a finite subfamily the closures of the elements of which cover the space. A regular -closed space is compact. If every closed subspace of a space is -closed, then the space itself is compact. A theory has been developed for -closed extensions of Hausdorff spaces.
