(topology) Any of various procedures of enlarging a topological space to make it compact.
This is the compactification in the plane of the graph of sin(1/x) over the interval (0,2/π], with a judiciously chosen arc from (0,-1) to (2/π,1).
(physics) Any modification of a theory such that an infinite parameter becomes finite.
The space M × C is compactified over the compact C and after Kaluza–Klein decomposition, we have an effective field theory over M.
