The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to construct the compact regular coreflection of uniform frames, that is, the frame counterpart of the Samuel compactification of uniform spaces (Samuel [10]), and then to use this for a new description of the completion of a uniform frame, as an alternative to those previously given by Isbell [6] on the one hand and Kříž [8] on the other. In addition, we present a few further results, as well as new proofs of known ones, that are naturally connected with completions and arise particularly easily from our approach to them. Most prominently among these, we identify the uniform space of minimal Cauchy filters of a uniform frame as the spectrum of its completion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
