Abstract
The theory of uniform structures is an important area of topology which in a certain sense can be viewed as a bridge linking metrics as well as topological groups with general topological structures. In particular, uniformities form, the widest natural context where such concepts as uniform continuity of functions, completeness and precompactness can be extended from the metric case. Therefore, it is not surprising that the attention of mathematicians interested in fuzzy topology constantly addressed the problem to give an appropriate definition of a uniformity in fuzzy context and to develop the corresponding theory. Already by the late 1970’s and early 1080’s, this problem was studied (independently at the first stage) by three authors: B. Hutton [21], U. Höhle [11, 12], and R. Lowen [30]. Each of these authors used in the fuzzy context a different aspect of the filter theory of traditional uniformities as a starting point, related in part to the different approaches to traditional unformities as seen in [37, 2] vis-a-vis [36, 22]; and consequently, the applied techniques and the obtained results of these authors are essentially different. Therefore it seems natural and urgent to find a common context as broad as necessary for these theories and to develop a general approach containing the previously obtained results as special cases—it was probably S. E. Rodabaugh [31] who first stated this problem explicitly.
An expanded version of this work (including proofs) will be published elsewhere.
