Let $𝒟$ denote a true dimension function, i.e., a dimension function such that $𝒟\left({ℝ}^n\right)=n$ for all $n$. For a space $X$, we denote the hyperspace consisting of all compact connected, non-empty subsets by $C\left(X\right)$. If $X$ is a countable infinite product of non-degenerate Peano continua, then the sequence ${\left({𝒟}_{\ge n}\left(C\left(X\right)\right)\right)}_{n=2}^{\infty }$ is $F_{\sigma }$-absorbing in $C\left(X\right)$. As a consequence, there is a homeomorphism $h:C\left(X\right)\to Q^{\infty }$ such that for all $n$, $h\left[\{A\in C\left(X\right):𝒟\left(A\right)\ge n+1\}\right]=B^n\times Q\times Q\times \cdots$, where $B$ denotes the pseudo boundary of the Hilbert cube $Q$. It follows that if $X$ is a countable infinite product of non-degenerate...

A continuum is a compact connected metric space. For a continuum X, let C(X) denote the hyperspace of subcontinua of X. In this paper we construct two nonhomeomorphic fans (dendroids with only one ramification point) X and Y such that C(X) and C(Y) are homeomorphic. This answers a question by Sam B. Nadler, Jr.

We prove that the third symmetric product of a chainable continuum has the fixed point property.

In un progetto di generalizzazione delle classiche topologie di tipo «set-open» di Arens-Dugundji introduciamo un metodo generale per produrre topologie in spazi di funzioni mediante l'uso di ipertopologie. Siano $X$, $Y$ spazi topologici e $C\left(X,Y\right)$ l'insieme delle funzioni continue da $X$ verso $Y$. Fissato un «network» $\alpha$ nel dominio $X$ ed una topologia $\tau$ nell'iperspazio $CL\left(Y\right)$ del codominio $Y$ si genera una topologia ${\tau }_{\alpha }$ in $C\left(X,Y\right)$ richiedendo che una rete $\left\{f_{\lambda }\right\}$ di $C\left(X,Y\right)$ converge in ${\tau }_{\alpha }$ ad $f\in C\left(X,Y\right)$ se e solo se la rete $\left\{\overline{f_{\lambda }\left(A\right)}\right\}$ converge in $\tau$ ad $\overline{f\left(A\right)}$...
