Internal Neighbourhood Structures II: Closure and closed morphisms

Abstract

Internal preneighbourhood spaces inside any finitely complete category with finite coproducts and proper factorisation structure were first introduced in my earlier paper. This paper proposes a closure operation on internal preneighbourhood spaces and investigates closed morphisms and its close allies. Consequently it introduces analogues of several well known classes of topological spaces for preneighbourhood spaces. Some preliminary properties of these spaces are established in this paper. The results of this paper exhibit preneighbourhood systems are more general than closure operators and conveniently allows identifying properties of classes of morphisms independent of continuity of morphisms with respect to induced closure operators.
