In [4], De Groot and Aarts constructed Hausdorff compactifications of topological spaces to obtain a new intrinsic characterization of complete regularity. These compactifications were called GA compactifications in [5] and [7]. A characterization of complete regularity was earlier given by Frink [3], by means of Wallman compactifications, a method which led to the intriguing problem of whether every Hausdorff compactification is a Wallman compactification.
