We prove a Dichotomy Theorem: for any Hausdorff compactification bG of an arbitrary rectifiable space G, the remainder bG∖G is either pseudocompact or Lindelöf. This theorem generalizes a similar theorem on topological groups obtained earlier in A.V. Arhangel'skii (2008) [6], but the proof for rectifiable spaces is considerably more involved than in the case of topological groups. It follows that if a remainder of a rectifiable space G is paracompact or Dieudonné complete, then the remainder is Lindelöf and that G is a p-space. We also present an example showing that the Dichotomy Theorem does not extend to all paratopological groups. Some other results are obtained, and some open questions are formulated.
