Abstract: We prove that for every T0 space X, there is a well-filtered space W(X) and a continuous mapping etaX:XlraW(X) such that for any well-filtered space Y and any continuous mapping f:XlraY there is a unique continuous mapping hatf:W(X)lraY such that f=hatfcircetaX. Such a space W(X) will be called the well-filterification of X. This result gives a positive answer to one of the major open problems on well-filtered spaces. Another result on well-filtered spaces we will prove is that the product of two well-filtered spaces is well-filtered.


Is the category of all well-filtered spaces reflective in the category of all \(T_0\) spaces? This important question, on well-filtered spaces, is answered positively by the authors of this paper, using the criteria for the existence of a \(K\)-fibration of \(T_0\) spaces, which were introduced in [\textit{K. Keimel} and \textit{J. D. Lawson}, Ann. Pure Appl. Logic 159, No. 3, 292--306 (2009; Zbl 1172.54016)].
