Let (g,Y) be a Cech Stone compactification of S. If (f,X) is a compactification of S, does X embed in Y?
If (g,Y) is a compactification of S and for all compactifications (f,X), X embeds in Y is (g,Y) a Stone Cech compactification of S?
Why in the heck is a compactification an embedding function and a compact space? Wouldn't be simpler to define a compactification of a space S, as a compact space into which S densely embeds?
