Abstract

Let G be a countably infinite discrete group, letβG be the Stone–Čechcompactification of G, and let ${G^{\rm{*}}} = \beta G \setminus G$. An idempotent $p \in {G^{\rm{*}}}$ is left (right) maximal if for every idempotent $q \in {G^{\rm{*}}}$, pq = p(qp = P) implies qp= q (qp =q). An idempotent $p \in {G^{\rm{*}}}$ is strongly right maximal if the equation xp= p has the unique solution x= p in G*. We show thatthere is an idempotent $p \in {G^{\rm{*}}}$ which is both left maximal and strongly right maximal.
