Met-like categories amongst concrete topological categories
For any quantale \(\mathsf{V}\), \(\mathsf{V}\)-\(\mathbf{Cat}\) is well known to be a concrete topological category which symmetric monoidal closed. The principal objective in this paper is to consider how to recognize full bireflective subcategories of such quantale-induced topological categories amongst all concrete topological categories, which is to be accounted the first step in an incandescent program aiming to characterize the quantale-monad-enriched categories \((\mathbb{T},\mathsf{V})\)-\(\mathbf{Cat}\), as can be seen in [\textit{M.
