On the category of profinite spaces as a reflective subcategory

In this paper by using the ring of real-valued continuous functions $C(X)$, we prove a theorem in profinite spaces which states that for a compact Hausdorff space $X$, the set of its connected components $X/_{\sim}$ endowed with the quotient topology is a profinite space. Then we apply this result t...
