The main theorems concern the relation between the - compact spaces and the
-regular spaces, and their analogues in uniform spaces. In either of the categories of Tychonoff spaces or uniform spaces, let
be a class of spaces, let
be the epi-reflective hull of
se (closed subspaces of products of members of
), let
be the “onto-reflective” hull of
(all subspaces of products of members of
), and let r and o be the associated functors. Let
be the class of spaces which admit a perfect map into a member of
. Then,
is epi-reflective (and in Tych, =
but in Unif, the equality fails); call the functor p.
