Abstract:

In 1979 Eric K. van Douwen announced a powerful theorem about the Stone-Čech compactification of a discrete semigroup which he called The Right Ideal Theorem. Its proof, however, was lost with his untimely death. In this paper we present a proof of the theorem and a derivation of some of its corollaries.
