Coincidence of Vietoris and Wijsman Topologies: A New Proof

Holá, L’. (1997)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let (X, d) be a metric space and CL(X) the family of all nonempty closed subsets of X. We provide a new proof of the fact that the coincidence of the Vietoris and Wijsman topologies induced by the metric d forces X to be a compact space. In the literature only a more involved and indirect proof using the proximal topology is known. Here we do not need this intermediate step. Moreover we prove that (X, d) is boundedly compact if and only if the bounded Vietoris and Wijsman topologies...

Topology of the isometry group of the Urysohn space

Julien Melleray (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Using classical results of infinite-dimensional geometry, we show that the isometry group of the Urysohn space, endowed with its usual Polish group topology, is homeomorphic to the separable Hilbert space ℓ²(ℕ). The proof is based on a lemma about extensions of metric spaces by finite metric spaces, which we also use to investigate (answering a question of I. Goldbring) the relationship, when A,B are finite subsets of the Urysohn space, between the group of isometries fixing A pointwise,...
