We characterize the spectral compactness of commutative von Neumann regular rings. We show that through a process of adjunction of identity, we can obtain the Alexandroff compactification or a star compactification of the prime spectrum of certain von Neumann regular rings.

Key words: Spectral compactness, Prime spectrum, Boolean ring, VonNeumann regular ring, Compactification.

Caracterizamos la compacidad espectral de los anillos regulares de von Neumann conmutativos. Mostramos que a través de un proceso de adjunción de unidad, podemos obtener la compactación de Alexandroff o una compactación estelar del espectro primo de ciertos anillos regulares de von Neumann.

Palabras clave: Compacidad espectral, espectro primo, anillo de Boole, anillo regular de von Neumann, compactación.
