Abstract:Many examples are known of natural functors $K$ describing the transition from categories $\mathcal{C}$ of generalized metric spaces to the ``metrizable" objects in some given topological construct $\mathcal{X}$. If $K$ preserves initial morphisms and if $K(\mathcal{C})$ is initially dense in $\mathcal{X}$, then we say that $\mathcal{X}$ is $\mathcal{C}$-metrically generated. Our main theorem proves that $\mathcal{X}$ is $\mathcal{C}$-metrically generated if and only if $\mathcal{X}$ can be isomorphically described as a concretely coreflective subconstruct of a model category with objects sets structured by collections of generalized metrics in $\mathcal{C}$ and natural morphisms. This theorem allows for a unifying treatment of many well-known and varied theories. Moreover, via suitable comparison functors, the various relationships between these theories are studied.

Keywords:Topological construct  topological space  metric space  uniform space  approach space  bornological space  measurable space
