Abstract

Ellis's "functional approach" allows one to obtain proper compactifications of a topological group G if G can be represented as a subgroup of the homeomorphism group of a space X in the topology of pointwise convergence and G-space X is G-Tychonoff. These compactifications, called Ellis compactifications, are right topological monoids and G-compactifications of the group G with its action by multiplication on the left on itself. A comparison is made between Ellis compactifications of G and the Roelcke compactification of G. Uniformity corresponding to the Ellis compactification of G for its representation in a compact space X is established. Proper Ellis semigroup compactifications are described for groups \rm S(X) (the permutation group of a discrete space X) and \rm Aut (X) (automorphism group of an ultrahomogeneous chain X) in the permutation topology and \rm Aut (X) of LOTS X in the topology of pointwise convergence.
