Abstract

The Wallman basis of a frame and the corresponding induced compactification was first investigated by Baboolal [2]. In this paper, we provide an intrinsic characterisation of S-metrizability in terms of the Wallman basis of a frame. Particularly, we show that a connected, locally connected frame is S-metrizable if and only if it has a countable locally connected and uniformly connected Wallman basis.
