Of hundreds of mathematical projects which I could do this one is the least attactive. Somehow, with little prompting :-), I got stuck with it. So be it.

to do

The article gets a bit big, and the number of issues is growing. Thus let me make a list of things to do. Once they are on record, they will not get forgotten.

  • Check the Aleksandrov-Urysohn metrization paper; they got a characterization essentially in the uniform terms (as I remember). Also find the pre-Smimrnov name of the original Soviet author of the nearness relation (Efimov? Efremenko? E...?).
  • Show that open entourages for a uniform base.
  • Generating a uniform structure by a family of uniform structures; it is applied especially to families of pseudometrics.
  • Write a bit more of the category stuff (the forgetful functors).
