[For the entire collection see Zbl 0721.00020.] The author announces various results about endofunctors of the category HComp of compact Hausdorff spaces. In particular he generalizes Katětov's result that a compact Hausdorff space \(X\) is metrizable if and only if \(X^ 3\) is hereditarily normal to the following: A compact Hausdorff space \(X\) is metrizable if and only if \(F(X)\) is hereditarily normal (where \(F:\text{HComp}\to\text{HComp}\) is an arbitrary normal functor of degree \(\geq 3)\), and he investigates the openness of \(\mu_ X:T^ 2X\to X\) for several monads \((T,\eta,\mu)\) on HComp.
