Abstract: Schweizer, Sklar and Thorp proved in 1960 that a Menger space (G,D,T) under a continuous t-norm T, induce a natural topology au wich is metrizable. We extend this result to any probabilistic metric space (G,D,star) provided that the triangle function star is continuous. We prove in this case, that the topological space (G,au) is uniformly homeomorphic to a (deterministic) metric space (G,sigmaD) for some canonical metric sigmaD on G. As applications, we extend the fixed point theorem of Hicks to probabilistic metric spaces which are not necessarily Menger spaces and we prove a probabilistic Arzela-Ascoli type theorem.
