Abstract
Let K be a complete and cocomplete category with a given proper (E,M)-factorization. K is called well-bounded if K is moreover bounded with a generator and cowellpowered with respect to the given factorization. Freyd-Kelly proved the following theorem about well-bounded categories: Let K be a well-bounded category and let Γ be a class of cylinders in the small category C1, and let all but a set of these cylinders be cones. Then Γ(C,K) is a reflective subcategory of [C,K]. The main results of this paper are: (I) If F: K→L is a Top-functor and L is well-bounded, then K is well-bounded. (II) If U is an E-reflective subcategory of a well-bounded category,then U is again wellbounded. As a corollary one obtains for instance that all coreflective and all epireflective subcategories of the category of topological spaces are well-bounded.
