Topological properties of the scale of a uniform space
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Abstract
Let (S. U) be a uniform space. This space can be embedded in a complete, uniform lattice called the scale of (S. U). We prove that the scale is compact if and only if S is finite or U = {S × S}. We prove that this statement remains true if compact is replaced by countably compact, totally bounded. Lindelof, second countable, or separable. In the last section of this paper, we investigate the cardinality of the scale and the retracted scale.
