We will call it “the Samuel realcompactification” by several resemblances to the Samuel compactification. In this paper, we present different ways to construct such realcompactification as well as we study the corresponding problem of knowing when a uniform space is Samuel realcompact, that is, when it (topologically) coincides with its Samuel realcompactification. At this respect, we obtain as main result a theorem of Katětov–Shirota type, given in terms of a property of completeness, recently introduced by the authors, called Bourbaki-completeness.engjournal articlehttps://www.doi.org/10.1016/j.topol.2018.03.033open accessUniform spaceRealcompactificationReal-valued uniformly continuous functionSamuel realcompactificationCauchy filterBourbaki–Cauchy filterBourbaki-completenessTopología1210.05 Topología General
