The compactification conjecture for subsets of Euclidean space
The compactification conjecture for subsets of Euclidean space
Let be an -dimensional subset of . An -dimensional compactification of is a compact space containing as a dense subspace and having dimension .
Compactification conjecture. Every -dimensional subset of has an -dimensional compactification that can be embedded into .
This conjecture would complete the reduction of the problem of whether covering dimension satisfies Menger's axioms. The source does not state a resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
