We prove that for every semitopological group G and every i∈{0, 1, 2, 3, 3.5}, there exists a continuous homomorphism φ G, i: G→ H onto a T i (resp., T i & T 1 for i⩾ 3) semitopological group H such that for every continuous mapping f: G→ X to a T i-(resp., T i & T 1-for i⩾ 3) space X, one can find a continuous mapping h: H→ X satisfying f= h∘ φ G, i. In other words, the semitopological group H= T i (G) is a T i-reflection of G. It turns out that all T i-reflections of G are topologically isomorphic. These facts establish the existence of the covariant functors T i for i= 0, 1, 2, 3, 3.5, as well as the functors Reg and Tych in the category of semitopological groups and their continuous homomorphisms. We also show that the canonical homomorphisms φ G, i of G onto T i (G) are open for i= 0, 1, 2 and provide an internal description of the groups T 0 (G) and T 1 (G) by finding the exact form of the kernels of φ G, 0 and φ G, 1. It is also established that the functors Reg and T i∘ T 3, for i= 0, 1, 2 are naturally equivalent.
