Abstract: | Many examples are known of natural functors describing the transition from categories of generalized metric spaces to the ``metrizable" objects in some given topological construct . If preserves initial morphisms and if is initially dense in , then we say that is -metrically generated. Our main theorem proves that is -metrically generated if and only if can be isomorphically described as a concretely coreflective subconstruct of a model category with objects sets structured by collections of generalized metrics in 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. |
