Any Hausdorff space X is a dense subspace of an H-closed space κX, called the Katětov extension of X, with the property that any H-closed extension Y of X is a continuous image of κX under a mapping which leaves X pointwise fixed [8], [10]. In [8], Liu has shown that the extensions κ(X×Y) and κX×κY of X × Y are equal iff (1) X or Y is finite, or (2) X and Y are H-closed. In this note, we examine whether homeomorphism of these two extensions implies equality. We give a condition under which homeomorphism implies equality and an example to show that this relation does not hold in general.
