Abstract

In this paper we show that the compactness of a Loeb space depends on its cardinality, the nonstandard universe it belongs to and the underlying model of set theory we live in. In §1 we prove that Loeb spaces are compact under various assumptions, and in §2 we prove that Loeb spaces are not compact under various other assumptions. The results in §1 and §2 give a quite complete answer to a question of D.Ross in [9], [11] and [12].
