    Before topologies were defined via open set axioms or in other equivalent ways, M. Fréchet had already introduced metric spaces and (sequential) convergence spaces. Although metric spaces do not determine a subcategory of either the topological or convergence space categories, they are embedded in the category of probabilistic convergence spaces. This interesting paper makes use of the latter result to characterize infinity-valued metric spaces and some of their most natural generalizations entirely in terms of convergence criteria.
