Abstract
In this note we present an investigation of J -spaces and other types of spaces related to J -spaces. We characterise these spaces using the notion of relatively connected subsets. For a completely regular J -space X, we give a description of the βX-extension of idempotent elements of C(X) and characterise completely regular J -spaces using idempotent elements of some subrings of C(X). A brief study of relatively connected subsets which leads to the definition of C-normal spaces is given. We show that this new class of C-normal spaces contains the class of normal spaces as a proper subclass. Michael proved that βX \\ X is relatively connected in βX if and only if X is a completely regular J -space. We further establish conditions which characterise completely regular J -spaces via some closed subsets of βX.
