In the paper, we recall the Wallman compactification of a Tychonoff space
T (denoted by Wall(T )) and the contribution made by Gillman and Jerison. Motivated by the Gelfand-Naimark theorem, we investigate the homeomorphism betweenC (b T ), the space of continuous and bounded functions onT , andC (Wall(T )), the space of continuous functions on the Wallman compactification ofT . Along the way, we attempt to justify the advantages of the Wallman compactification over other manifestations of the Stone-Čech compactification. The main result of the paper is a new form of the Arzelà-Ascoli theorem, which introduces the concept of equicontinuity alongω -ultrafilters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
