Abstract
The concept of a uniformity was developed by A.
Well and there have been several generalizations. This
paper defines a point semiuniformity and gives necessary
and sufficient conditions for a topological space to be
point semiuniformizable. In addition, just as uniformities
are associated with topological groups, a point
semiuniformity is naturally associated with a semicontinuous
group. This paper shows that a point semiuniformity
associated with a semicontinuous group is a uniformity
if and only if the group is a topological group.
