CAUCHY POINTS OF UNIFORM AND NEARNESS FRAMES

摘要

The notion of Cauchy point (= regular Cauchy filter) and the corresponding Cauchy spectrum, for a nearness frame (= uniform without the star-refinement condition) are investigated in various directions, including basic motivation, several functorial aspects, and the recognition of the Cauchy spectrum as the ordinary spectrum of the completion, after the unique existence of the latter is obtained as a central new result in this context.
