In this paper, we introduce the notions of pre-uniform spaces and preproximities and investigate some basic properties about them. First, we prove that each pre-uniform pre-topology is regular, and give an example to show that there exists a pre-uniform structure on a finite set such that the pre-uniform pre-topology is not discrete. Moreover, we give three methods of generating (strongly) pre-uniformities, that is, the definition of a pre-base, a family of strongly pre-uniform covers, or a family of strongly pre-uniform pseudometrics. As an application, we show that each strongly pre-topological group is completely regular. Finally, we pose the concept of the pre-proximity on a set and discuss some properties of the pre-proximity.

In this paper, we pose the concepts of pre-topological groups and some generalizations of pre-topological groups. First, we systematically investigate some basic properties of pre-topological groups; in particular, we prove that each T 0 pre-topological group is regular and every almost topological group is completely regular which extends A.A. Markov's theorem to the class of almost topological groups. Moreover, it is shown that an almost topological group is τ -narrow if and only if it can be embedded as a subgroup of a pre-topological product of almost topological groups of weight less than or equal to τ . Finally, the cardinal invariant, the precompactness and the resolvability are investigated in the class of pre-topological groups.
