The abstract of the talk (see below) may be downloaded in one of the following formats:
A space X is called ( pathwise ) connectifiable if it can be embedded as
a dense subspace of a ( pathwise ) connected Hausdorff space Y; if such is
the case, Y is called a ( pathwise ) connectification of X.
In this lecture we provide a survey of the most important results
obtained by several authors. Moreover, we will give a rather complete
endup-to-date list of the major open problems in this field.
