We study countably compact and absolutely H-closed primitive topological inverse semi- groups. We describe the structure of compact and countably compact primitive topological inverse semigroups and show that any countably compact primitive topological inverse semigroup embeds into a compact primitive topological inverse semigroup. In this paper all spaces are Hausdorff. A semigroup is a nonempty set with a binary associative operation. A semigroup S is called inverse if for any x ∈ S there exists a unique y ∈ S such that x · y · x x and y · x · y y. Such an element y in S is called inverse to x and denoted by x−1 . The map defined on an inverse semigroup S whic
