Compactifying a convergence space with functions.
It is shown that every metrizable consonant space is a Cantor set-selector. Some applications are derived from this fact, also the relationship is discussed in the framework of hyperspaces and Prohorov spaces.
Let be a metric continuum. Let denote the hyperspace of nonempty subsets of with at most elements. We say that the continuum has unique hyperspace provided that the following implication holds: if is a continuum and is homeomorphic to , then is homeomorphic to . In this paper we prove the following results: (1) if is an indecomposable continuum such that each nondegenerate proper subcontinuum of is an arc, then has unique hyperspace , and (2) let be an arcwise connected...
For a space , we denote by , and the hyperspaces of non-empty closed, compact, and subsets of cardinality of , respectively, with their Vietoris topology. For spaces and , is the space of continuous functions from to with its pointwise convergence topology. We analyze in this article when , and have continuous selections for a space of the form , where is zero-dimensional and is a strongly zero-dimensional metrizable space. We prove that is weakly orderable if and...
Let be a Hausdorff space and let be one of the hyperspaces , , or ( a positive integer) with the Vietoris topology. We study the following disconnectedness properties for : extremal disconnectedness, being a -space, -space or weak -space and hereditary disconnectedness. Our main result states: if is Hausdorff and is a closed subset such that (a) both and are totally disconnected, (b) the quotient is hereditarily disconnected, then is hereditarily disconnected. We also...
