Abstract
The Kuratowski-Mrówka result [12, 15] that a topological space X is compact if and only if the second projection map π Y : X × Y → Y is closed for each topological space Y, has led to a number of categorical definitions of the notion of compactness.
Professor L. Stout is thanked for remarks which led to improvements in this chapter.
