The 3-by-3 lemma for regular Goursat categories.
We define “the category of compactifications”, which is denoted CM, and consider its family of coreflections, denoted corCM. We show that corCM is a complete lattice with bottom the identity and top an interpretation of the Čech–Stone . A corCM implies the assignment to each locally compact, noncompact a compactification minimum for membership in the “object-range” of . We describe the minimum proper compactifications of locally compact, noncompact spaces, show that these generate the atoms...
A criterion for the existence of an initial completion of a concrete category universal w.r.tḟinite products and subobjects is presented. For metric spaces and uniformly continuous maps this completion is the category of uniform spaces.
