Dieudonné completion and bf-group actions

If G(X) denotes either the free topological group or the free Abelian topological group over a topological space X, we prove that is a hemibounded bf-group whenever each Xi is a pseudocompact space (which provides a new way to generate this kind of topological groups), and we show that the equality holds whenever X is a hemibounded bf-space (where μY stands for the Dieudonné completion of Y). By means of the Dieudonné completion we prove that every pseudocompact space X is G-Tychonoff whenever G is a bf-group and that the maximal G-compactification of X coincides with βX. We apply this result to obtain a partial version for G-spaces of Glicksberg's theorem on pseudocompactness and we analyze when the maximal G-compactification of a G-space X coincides with the Stone–Čech compactification of X in the case when G is a metrizable group.
