Exercise 3, § 2

General Topology, II, 207

Let F1,F2\mathfrak{F}_1, \mathfrak{F}_2 be two distinct ultrafilters on an infinite set XX. Show that the uniformities U(F1)\mathfrak{U}(\mathfrak{F}_1) and U(F2)\mathfrak{U}(\mathfrak{F}_2) (§1§ 1, Exercise 1) are not comparable, and that their least upper bound is the discrete uniformity. What is their greatest lower bound? Deduce that the set of Hausdorff uniformities on XX is equipotent to P(P(X))\mathfrak{P}(\mathfrak{P}(X)) [cf. Chapter I, § 8, Exercise 6 a)].
