- Problem 3, chapter 5-3 of Munkres' Topology asks: under what
- conditions does a metrizable space have a metrizable compactification?
- I have torn a few hairs out trying to answer this, and have come to
- believe that I am overlooking something. I would appreciate whatever
- light you might shed on this question.
