Exercise 2, § 3

General Topology, II, 208

a) Let XX be an infinite set and let F\mathfrak{F} be a non-trivial ultrafilter on XX. Show that if XX carries the uniformity U(F)\mathfrak{U}(\mathfrak{F}) (§1§ 1, Exercise 1) then the complement of XX in its completion X^\hat{X} consists of a single point, and that the topological space X^\hat{X} can be identified with the space associated with the ultrafilter F\mathfrak{F} (Chapter I, § 6, no. 5, Example). b) Deduce from a) an example of a uniformity on R\mathbf{R} which is finer than the additive uniformity and with respect to which R\mathbf{R} is not complete.
