Asymmetric filter convergence and completeness

چکیده
Completeness for metric spaces is traditionally presented in terms of convergence of Cauchy sequences, and for uniform spaces in terms of Cauchy filters. Somewhat more abstractly, a uniform space is complete if and only if it is closed in every uniform space in which it is embedded, and so isomorphic to any space in which it is densely embedded. This is the approach to completeness used in the point-free setting, that is, for uniform and nearness frames: a nearness frame is said to be complete if every strict surjection onto it is an isomorphism. Quasi-uniformities and quasi-nearnesses on biframes provide appropriate structures with which to investigate uniform and nearness ideas in the asymmetric context. In [9] a notion of completeness (called “quasi-completeness”) was presented for quasi-nearness biframes in terms of suitable strict surjections being isomorphisms, and a quasi-completion was constructed for any quasinearness biframe. In this paper we show that quasi-completeness can indeed be viewed in terms of the convergence of certain filters, namely, the regular Cauchy bifilters. We use the notion of a T -valued bifilter, which generalizes the characteristic function of a filter. An important tool is an appropriate composition for such bifilters. We show that the right adjoint of the quasi-completion is the universal regular Cauchy bifilter and use it to prove this characterization of quasi-completeness. We also construct the so-called Cauchy filter quotient for a biframe using a quotient of the downset biframe that involves only the Cauchy, and not the regularity, condition. Like the quasi-completion, this provides a universal Cauchy bifilter; unlike the quasi-completion, this construction is functorial.

Enough Regular Cauchy Filters for Asymmetric Uniform and Nearness Structures
Quasi-nearness biframes provide an asymmetric setting for the study of nearness; in [1] a completion (called a quasi-completion) was constructed for such structures and in [2] completeness was characterized in terms of the convergence of regular Cauchy bifilters. In this talk, questions of functoriality for this quasi-completion are considered and one sees that having enough regular Cauchy bifi...
متن کاملRelationships between completeness of fuzzy quasi-uniform spaces
In this paper, we give a kind of Cauchy 1-completeness in probabilistic quasi-uniform spaces by using 1-filters. Utilizingthe relationships among probabilistic quasi-uniformities, classical quasi-uniformities and Hutton [0, 1]-quasi-uniformities,we show the relationships between their completeness. In fuzzy quasi-metric spaces, we establish the relationshipsbetween the completeness of induced p...
متن کاملConvergence and quantale-enriched categories
Generalising Nachbin's theory of ``topology and order'', in this paper we continue the study of quantale-enriched categories equipped with a compact Hausdorff topology. We compare these $V$-categorical compact Hausdorff spaces with ultrafilter-quantale-enriched categories, and show that the presence of a compact Hausdorff topology guarantees Cauchy completeness and (suitably defined) ...
متن کاملA COMMON FRAMEWORK FOR LATTICE-VALUED, PROBABILISTIC AND APPROACH UNIFORM (CONVERGENCE) SPACES
We develop a general framework for various lattice-valued, probabilistic and approach uniform convergence spaces. To this end, we use the concept of $s$-stratified $LM$-filter, where $L$ and $M$ are suitable frames. A stratified $LMN$-uniform convergence tower is then a family of structures indexed by a quantale $N$. For different choices of $L,M$ and $N$ we obtain the lattice-valued, probabili...
