Preservation of completeness under mappings in asymmetric topology

Abstract

[EN] The preservation of various completeness properties in the quasi-metric (and quasi-uniform) setting under open, closed and uniformly open mappings is investigated. In particular, it is noted that between quasi-uniform spaces the property that each costable filter has a cluster point is preserved under uniformly open continuous surjections. Furthermore in the realm of quasi-uniform spaces conditions under which almost uniformly open mappings are uniformly open are given which generalize corresponding classical results for uniform spaces. As a by-product it is shown that a quasi-metrizable Moore space admits a left K-complete quasi-metric if and only if it is a complete Aronszajn space.
