MINIMAL QUASI-F COVERS OF SOME EXTENSION

Observing that every Tychonoff space X has an extension $kX$ which is a weakly Lindel$\ddot{o}$f space and the minimal quasi-F cover $QF(kX)$ of $kX$ is a weakly Lindel$\ddot{o}$f, we show that ${\Phi}_{kX}:QF(kX){\rightarrow}kX$ is a $z^{\sharp}$-irreducible map and that $QF({\beta}X)=QF(kX)$. Using these, we prove that $QF(kX)=kQF(X)$ if and only if ${\Phi}^k_X:kQF(X){\rightarrow}kX$ is an onto map and ${\beta}QF(X)=(QF{\beta}X)$.
