When spectra of lattices of $z$-ideals are Stone-Čech compactifications

Let $X$ be a completely regular Hausdorff space and, as usual, let $C(X)$ denote the ring of real-valued continuous functions on $X$. The lattice of $z$-ideals of $C(X)$ has been shown by Martínez and Zenk (2005) to be a frame. We show that the spectrum of this lattice is (homeomorphic to) $\beta X$...
