A note on precompact uniform frames

Precompactness or total boundedness for uniform frames is usually distinguished by a cover approach. In this note, we provide alternate characterizations of precompact uniform frames. In particular, we formulate pointfree filter analogues of various classical topological results on precompactness. We also revisit the notion of convergence and clustering of filters in a frame and introduce weakly Cauchy filters and strong Cauchy completeness in the setting of uniform frames.
