Abstract
We develop a theory for probabilistic semiuniform convergence spaces. Probabilistic semiuniform convergence spaces generalize probabilistic uniform spaces in the sense of Florescu and probabilistic convergence spaces in the sense of Kent and Richardson. This theory includes a new branch in topology, namely, Convenient Topology, introduced by Preuß. Thus, it includes semiuniform convergence spaces and uniform spaces, filter and Cauchy spaces and (symmetric) limit spaces and, therefore, (symmetric) topological spaces. The theory of probabilistic semiuniform convergence spaces reveals categories which are strong topological universes or have other convenient properties.
