Hausdorff completions of uniform spaces #
The goal is to construct a left-adjoint to the inclusion of complete Hausdorff uniform spaces
into all uniform spaces. Any uniform space α
gets a completion completion α
and a morphism
(ie. uniformly continuous map) coe : α → completion α
which solves the universal
mapping problem of factorizing morphisms from α
to any complete Hausdorff uniform space β
.
It means any uniformly continuous f : α → β
gives rise to a unique morphism
completion.extension f : completion α → β
such that f = completion.extension f ∘ coe
.
Actually completion.extension f
is defined for all maps from α
to β
but it has the desired
properties only if f
is uniformly continuous.
Beware that coe
is not injective if α
is not Hausdorff. But its image is always
dense. The adjoint functor acting on morphisms is then constructed by the usual abstract nonsense.
For every uniform spaces α
and β
, it turns f : α → β
into a morphism
completion.map f : completion α → completion β
such that
coe ∘ f = (completion.map f) ∘ coe
provided f
is uniformly continuous. This construction is compatible with composition.
In this file we introduce the following concepts:
-
Cauchy α
the uniform completion of the uniform spaceα
(using Cauchy filters). These are not minimal filters. -
completion α := quotient (separation_setoid (Cauchy α))
the Hausdorff completion.

Space of Cauchy filters
This is essentially the completion of a uniform space. The embeddings are the neighbourhood filters. This space is not minimal, the separated uniform space (i.e. quotiented on the intersection of all entourages) is necessary for this.
