Sub-Stonean space

In topology, a sub-Stonean space is a locally compact Hausdorff space such that any two open σ-compact disjoint subsets have disjoint compact closures. Related, an F-space, introduced by Gillman & Henriksen (1956), is a completely regular Hausdorff space for which every finitely generated ideal of the ring of real-valued continuous functions is principal, or equivalently every real-valued continuous function $f$ can be written as Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "http://localhost:6011/en.wikipedia.org/v1/":): {\displaystyle f=g|f|} for some real-valued continuous function $g$ . When dealing with compact spaces, the two concepts are the same, but in general, the concepts are different. The relationship between the sub-Stonean spaces and F-spaces is studied in Henriksen and Woods, 1989.

Examples

Rickart spaces and the corona sets of locally compact σ-compact Hausdorff spaces are sub-Stonean spaces.
