Extract

The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to construct the compact regular coreflection of uniform frames, that is, the frame counterpart of the Samuel compactification of uniform spaces (Samuel [10]), and then to use this for a new description of the completion of a uniform frame, as an alternative to those previously given by Isbell [6] on the one hand and Kříž [8] on the other. In addition, we present a few further results, as well as new proofs of known ones, that are naturally connected with completions and arise particularly easily from our approach to them. Most prominently among these, we identify the uniform space of minimal Cauchy filters of a uniform frame as the spectrum of its completion.
