Di-uniformities and Hutton uniformities (Q1759631)

The authors characterize di-uniformities on a texture \((S,\mathcal S)\) in the sense of \textit{S. Özçağ} and \textit{L. Brown} [Appl. Gen. Topol. 4, No. 1, 157--192 (2003; Zbl 1097.54032)] in terms of functions on the texturing \(\mathcal S\). This characterization enables quasi-uniformities in the sense of \textit{B. Hutton} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 58, 559--571 (1977; Zbl 0358.54008)] to be regarded as di-uniformities on the corresponding Hutton Texture, thereby revealing di-uniformities as a generalization of Hutton quasi-uniformities. The effect of imposing a complementation on \((S,\mathcal S)\) is also considered and several important results are established.
