Stone space, often denoted as \\( \\beta X \\), is a concept from topology and set theory that arises in the context of the study of completely regular spaces and the construction of compactifications. The Stone space is a specific type of space associated with a totally bounded and complete metric space or, more generally, with a completely regular Hausdorff space.
