It is the purpose of this note to show that this construction itself is in fact a genuine monoidal one.

This permits one to obtain the lifting of interior and neighbourhood operators along an -fibration and includes the lifting of closure operators found in the literature.

Given a non-empty metric space (X, dX), we introduce the distance on the functor-space FX as the largest distance such that for every n ∈ ℕ and a ∈ Fn the map Xn → FX, f → Ff(a), is non-expanding with respect to the ℓp-metric on Xn. We prove that the distance is a pseudometric if and only if the functor F preserves singletons; is a metric if F preserves singletons and one of the following conditions holds: (1) the metric space (X, dX) is Lipschitz disconnected, (2) p = 1, (3) the functor F has finite degree, (4) F preserves supports. We prove that for any Lipschitz map f : (X, dX) → (Y, dY) between metric spaces the map is Lipschitz with Lipschitz constant Lip(Ff) ≤ Lip(f). If the functor F is finitary, has finite degree (and preserves supports), then F preserves uniformly continuous function, coarse functions, coarse equivalences, asymptotically Lipschitz functions, quasi-isometries (and continuous functions). For many dimension functions we prove the formula dim FpX ≤ deg(F) dim X. Using injective envelopes, we introduce a modification of the distance and prove that the functor Dist → Dist, , in the category Dist of distance spaces preserves Lipschitz maps and isometries between metric spaces.Mathematics Subject Classification (2020): 54B3054E3554F45Key words: FunctordistancemonoidHausdorff distancefinite supportdimension","PeriodicalId":49652,"journal":{"name":"Quaestiones Mathematicae","volume":"45 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135271716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, under suitable hypothesis, Ord//X is complete and cartesian closed if and only if X is. We end by analysing descent in this category. Namely, when X is complete, we show that, for a morphism in Ord//X , being pointwise effective for descent in Ord is sufficient, while being effective for descent in Ord is necessary, to be effective for descent in Ord//X .Mathematics Subject Classification (2020): 06A0718A2518A3018N1018D2018E50Key words: Effective descent morphismslax comma 2-categoriescomma categoriesexponentiabilitycartesian closed categoriestopological functorsenriched categoriesOrd-enriched categories","PeriodicalId":49652,"journal":{"name":"Quaestiones Mathematicae","volume":"44 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135271718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Do these notions always lead to rather uninteresting classes of objects in categories of topological spaces, such as all finite discrete spaces, or just the empty space, as the examples and remarks in the existing literature may suggest?This article demonstrates that the establishment of full characterizations of these notions (and some natural variations thereof) in many familiar categories of spaces can be quite challenging and may lead to unexpected surprises. In fact, we show that there are significant differences in this regard even amongst the categories defined by the standard separation axioms, with the T1-separation condition standing out. The findings about these specific categories lead us to insights also when considering rather arbitrary full reflective subcategories of the category of all topological spaces.Mathematics Subject Classification (2020): 18F6054B3054D10Key words: Finitely presentable objectfinitely generated objectfinitely small objectdirected colimitHausdorff spaceT0-spaceT1-spacecompact space","PeriodicalId":49652,"journal":{"name":"Quaestiones Mathematicae","volume":"50 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135271912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
