The ring C(X) is the ring of all continuous real-valued functions on a completely regular Hausdorff space X, and βX is the Stone-Čech compactification of X.

The author proves a theorem which leads to a characterization of those zero-sets in X whose closures (in βX) are zero-sets in βX, and relates this characterization to the ideals in the ring C(X).
