Recently, David S. Lipham has shown that if $X$ is an Erdős space factor then the Vietoris hyperspace $\mathcal{F}(X)$ of finite subsets of $X$ is an Erdős space factor. In this short note we prove that if $\mathfrak{E}$ denotes Erdős space then $\mathcal{F}(\mathfrak{E})$ is in fact homeomorphic to $\mathfrak{E}$.
We introduce a new Vietoris-type hypertopology by means of the upper-Vietoris-type hypertopology defined by G. Dimov and D. Vakarelov [On Scott consequence systems, Fundamenta Informaticae, 33 (1998), 43-70] (it was called there {\em Tychonoff-type hypertopology}) and the lower-Vietoris-type hypertopology introduced by E. Ivanova-Dimova [Lower-Vietoris-type topologies on hyperspaces, Topology Appl. (to appear)]. We study this new Vietoris-type hypertopology and show that it is, in general, different from the Vietoris topology. Also, some of the results of E. Michael [Topologies on spaces of su…
We study the heredity of the classes of generalized metric spaces (for example, spaces with a $σ$-hereditarily closure-preserving $k$-network, spaces with a point-countable base, spaces with a base of countable order, spaces with a point-regular base, Nagata-spaces, $c$-semi-stratifiable spaces, $γ$-spaces, semi-metrizable spaces) to the hyperspaces of nonempty compact subsets and finite subsets with the Vietoris topology.
For a topological space $X$, let $CL(X)$ be the set of all non-empty closed subset of $X$, and denote the set $CL(X)$ with the Vietoris topology by $(CL(X), \mathbb{V})$. In this paper, we mainly discuss the hyperspace $(CL(X), \mathbb{V})$ when $X$ is an infinite countable discrete space. As an application, we first prove that the hyperspace with the Vietoris topology on an infinite countable discrete space contains a closed copy of $n$-th power of Sorgenfrey line for each $n\in\mathbb{N}$. Then we investigate the tightness of the hyperspace $(CL(X), \mathbb{V})$, and prove that the tightness…
We introduce a new lower-Vietoris-type hypertopology in a way similar to that with which a new upper-Vietoris-type hypertopology was introduced in G. Dimov and D. Vakarelov, "On Scott consequence systems", Fundamenta Informaticae, 33 (1998), 43-70. (it was called there {\em Tychonoff-type hypertopology}). We study this new hypertopology and, in particular, we generalize many results from E. Cuchillo-Ibanez, M. A. Moron and F. R. Ruiz del Portal, "Lower semifinite topology in hyperspaces", Topology Proceedings, 17 (1992), 29-39. As a corollary, we get that for every continuous map $f:X\longrigh…
We study Vietoris hyperspaces of closed and closed final sets of Priestley spaces. We are particularly interested in Skula topologies. A topological space is \emph{Skula} if its topology is generated by differences of open sets of another topology. A compact Skula space is scattered and moreover has a natural well-founded ordering compatible with the topology, namely, it is a Priestley space. One of our main objectives is investigating Vietoris hyperspaces of general Priestley spaces, addressing the question when their topologies are Skula and computing the associated ordinal ranks. We apply o…
We show that both $\mathfrak{ap=c}$ and $\diamondsuit(\mathfrak{b})$ imply the existence of MAD families with pseudocompact Vietoris hyperspace, substantially expanding the list of models where their existence is known. We also discuss some properties on the structure of fin-intersecting MAD families by providing some new examples of non-fin-intersecting MAD families with special properties. We show that the Baire number of $ω^*$ is strictly larger than $\mathfrak c$ if and only if for every MAD family $\mathcal A$, $Ψ(\mathcal A)$ and its Vietoris hyperspace are $p$-pseudocompact for some fre…
In this paper, we prove a theorem about embedding of some partially ordered topological spaces in topological hyperspaces equipped with Fell topology. Then we give some examples to show that the map defining the embedding may not be continuous with respect to Vietoris topology or Hausdorff topology equipped on the hyperspaces.
Let X be a non-degenerate, connected, locally path-connected metrizable space and Fin(X) be the hyperspace consisting of non-empty finite subsets in X endowed with the Vietoris topology. In this paper, we show that every compact set in Fin(X) is a strong Z-set.
In this paper we consider the hyperspace $C_{n}(X)$ of non-empty and closed subsets of a base space $X$ with up to $n$ connected components. We consider a class of base spaces called finite ray-graphs, which are a noncompact variation on finite graphs. We prove two results about the structure of these hyperspaces under different topologies (Hausdorff and Vietoris), in particular, about their number of connected components.
We show that all maximal almost disjoint families have pseudocompact Vietoris hyperspace if and only if $\mathsf{MA}_\mathfrak c (\mathcal P(ω)/\mathrm{fin})$ holds. We further study the question whether there is a maximal almost disjoint family whose hyperspace is pseudocompact and prove that consistently such families do not exist \emph{genericaly}, by constructing a consistent example of a maximal almost disjoint family $\mathcal A$ of size less than $\mathfrak c$ whose hyperspace is not pseudocompact.
Assume that $X$ is a regular space. We study topological properties of the family $S_c(X)$ of nontrivial convergent sequences in $X$ equipped with the Vietoris topology. We show that if $X$ has no isolated points, then $S_c(X)$ is a space of the first category which answers the question posed by S. Garcia-Ferreira and Y.F. Ortiz-Castillo.
Let ${\rm Fin}(X)$ be the hyperspace consisting of non-empty finite subsets of a space $X$ endowed with the Vietoris topology. In this paper, we characterize a metrizable space $X$ whose hyperspace ${\rm Fin}(X)$ is homeomorphic to the linear subspace spanned by the canonical orthonormal basis of a non-separable Hilbert space.
Given a countable transitive model $M$ for ZFC+CH, we prove that one can produce a maximal almost disjoint family in $M$ whose Vietoris Hyperspace of its Isbell-Mrówka space is pseudocompact on every Cohen extension of $M$. We also show that a classical example of $ω_1$-sized maximal almost disjoint family obtained by a forcing iteration of length $ω_1$ in a model of non CH is such that the Vietoris Hyperspace of its Isbell-Mrówka space is pseudocompact.
Let $X$ be a metrizable space and ${\rm Comp}(X)$ be the hyperspace consisting of non-empty compact subsets of $X$ endowed with the Vietoris topology. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on $X$ for ${\rm Comp}(X)$ to be homeomorphic to a non-separable Hilbert space. Moreover, we consider the topological structure of pair $({\rm Comp}(\overline{X}),{\rm Fin}(X))$ of hyperspaces of $X$ and its completion $\overline{X}$, where ${\rm Fin}(X)$ is the hyperspace of non-empty finite sets in $X$.
The Vietoris space of a Stone space plays an important role in the coalgebraic approach to modal logic. When generalizing this to positive modal logic, there is a variety of relevant hyperspace constructions based on various topologies on a Priestley space and mechanisms to topologize the hyperspace of closed sets. A number of authors considered hyperspaces of Priestley spaces and their application to the coalgebraic approach to positive modal logic. A mixture of techniques from category theory, pointfree topology, and Priestley duality have been employed. Our aim is to provide a unifying appr…
We explore the connections between selection games on Hausdorff spaces and their corresponding Vietoris space of compact subsets. These considerations offer a similar relationship as the well-known relationship between $ω$-covers of $X$ and regular open covers of the finite powers of $X$. The primary utility of this method is to establish similar relationships with $k$-covers and the Vietoris space of compact subsets. Particularly, we show that some commonly studied selection principles are equivalent to a related hyperspace being Menger or Rothberger. We then apply these equivalences to corre…
The symbol $\mathcal{S}(X)$ denotes the hyperspace of finite unions of convergent sequences in a Hausdorff space $X$. This hyperspace is endowed with the Vietoris topology. First of all, we give a characterization of convergent sequence in $\mathcal{S}(X)$. Then we consider some cardinal invariants on $\mathcal{S}(X)$, and compare the character, the pseudocharacter, the $sn$-character, the $so$-character, the network weight and $cs$-network weight of $\mathcal{S}(X)$ with the corresponding cardinal function of $X$. Moreover, we consider rank $k$-diagonal on $\mathcal{S}(X)$, and give a space $…
Let $X$ be a Hausdorff space and let $\mathcal{H}$ be one of the hyperspaces $CL(X)$, $\mathcal{K}(X)$, $\mathcal{F}(X)$ or $\mathcal{F}_n(X)$ ($n$ a positive integer) with the Vietoris topology. We study the following disconnectedness properties for $\mathcal{H}$: extremal disconnectedness, being a $F^\prime$-space, $P$-space or weak $P$-space and hereditary disconnectedness. Our main result states: if $X$ is Hausdorff and $F\subset X$ is a closed subset such that $(a)$ both $F$ and $X-F$ are totally disconnected, $(b)$ the quotient $X/F$ is hereditarily disconnected, then $\mathcal{K}(X)$ is…
For a regular space $X$, the hyperspace $(CL(X), τ_{F})$ (resp., $(CL(X), τ_{V})$) is the space of all nonempty closed subsets of $X$ with the Fell topology (resp., Vietoris topology). In this paper, we give the characterization of the space $X$ such that the hyperspace $(CL(X), τ_{F})$ (resp., $(CL(X), τ_{V})$) with a countable character of closed subsets. We mainly prove that $(CL(X), τ_F)$ has a countable character on each closed subset if and only if $X$ is compact metrizable, and $(CL(X), τ_F)$ has a countable character on each compact subset if and only if $X$ is locally compact and sepa…
This paper is a continuation of the work done in \cite{sal-yas} and \cite{may-pat-rob}. We deal with the Vietoris hyperspace of all nontrivial convergent sequences $\mathcal{S}_c(X)$ of a space $X$. We answer some questions in \cite{sal-yas} and generalize several results in \cite{may-pat-rob}. We prove that: The connectedness of $X$ implies the connectedness of $\mathcal{S}_c(X)$; the local connectedness of $X$ is equivalent to the local connectedness of $\mathcal{S}_c(X)$; and the path-wise connectedness of $\mathcal{S}_c(X)$ implies the path-wise connectedness of $X$. We also show that the …
It is shown that the symmetric products of complete Erdős space and Erdős space are homeomorphic to complete Erdős space and Erdős space, respectively. We will also give some properties of their hyperspace of compact subsets with the Vietoris topology.
In this paper, we shall study categorial properties of the hyperspace of all nontrivial convergent sequences $\mathcal{S}_c(X)$ of a Freéch-Urysohn space $X$, this hyperspace is equipped with the Vietoris topology. We mainly prove that $\mathcal{S}_c(X)$ is meager whenever $X$ is a crowded space, as a corollary we obtain that if $\mathcal{S}_c(X)$ is Baire, the $X$ has a dense subset of isolated points. As an interesting example $\mathcal{S}_c(ω_1)$ has the Baire property, where $ω_1$ carries the order topology (this answers a question from \cite{sal-yas}). We can give more examples like this …
Erdős space $\mathfrak{E}$ and complete Erdős space $\mathfrak{E}_c$ have been previously shown to have topological characterizations. In this paper, we provide a topological characterization of the topological space $\mathbb{Q}\times\mathfrak{E}_c$, where $\mathbb{Q}$ is the space of rational numbers. As a corollary, we show that the Vietoris hyperspace of finite sets $\mathcal{F}(\mathfrak{E}_c)$ is homeomorphic to $\mathbb{Q}\times\mathfrak{E}_c$. We also characterize the factors of $\mathbb{Q}\times\mathfrak{E}_c$. An interesting open question that is left open is whether $σ{\mathfrak{E}_c…
The hyperspace of all nontrivial convergent sequences in a Hausdorff space $X$ is denoted by $\mathcal{S}_c(X)$. This hyperspace is endowed with the Vietoris topology. In connection with a question and a problem by García-Ferreira, Ortiz-Castillo and Rojas-Hernández, concerning conditions under which $\mathcal S_c(X)$ is pathwise connected, in the current paper we study the latter property and the contractibility of $\mathcal{S}_c(X)$. We present necessary conditions on a space $X$ to obtain the path connectedness of $\mathcal{S}_c(X)$. We also provide some sufficient conditions on a space $X$…
We consider three monads on Top, the category of topological spaces, which formalize topological aspects of probability and possibility in categorical terms. The first one is the Hoare hyperspace monad H, which assigns to every space its space of closed subsets equipped with the lower Vietoris topology. The second is the monad V of continuous valuations, also known as the extended probabilistic powerdomain. We construct both monads in a unified way in terms of double dualization. This reveals a close analogy between them, and allows us to prove that the operation of taking the support of a con…
We show that, if S is a finite semiring, then the free profinite S-semimodule on a Boolean Stone space X is isomorphic to the algebra of all S-valued measures on X, which are finitely additive maps from the Boolean algebra of clopens of X to S. These algebras naturally appear in the logic approach to formal languages as well as in idempotent analysis. Whenever S is a (pro)finite idempotent semiring, the S-valued measures are all given uniquely by continuous density functions. This generalises the classical representation of the Vietoris hyperspace of a Boolean Stone space in terms of continuou…
