On the symmetric hyperspace of the circle

By X(n), n?1, we denote the n-th symmetric hyperspace of a metric space X as the space of non-empty finite subsets of X with at most n elements endowed with the Hausdorff metric. In this paper we shall describe the n-th symmetric hyperspace S¹(n) as a compactification of an open cone over ΣDn−2, here Dn−2 is the higher-dimensional dunce hat introduced by Andersen, Marjanovi? and Schori (1993) [2] if n is even, and Dn−2 has the homotopy type of Sn−2 if n is odd (see Andersen et al. (1993) [2]). Then we can determine the homotopy type of S¹(n) and detect several topological properties of S¹(n).     

Fell-拓扑的伪紧性（英文）

设X是拓扑空间，CL（X）表示X的所有非空闭子集的族，本文得到了下述结果：在CL（X）上的Fell-拓扑是伪肾的当且仅当X是feebly-紧或者非局部紧或者非σ－紧，由此得到了对于伪紧性不是闭遗传的两类新的拓扑空间。

Hyperspaces of Normed Linear Spaces with the Attouch–Wets Topology

Let Cld _AW (X) be the hyperspace of nonempty closed subsets of a normed linear space X with the Attouch–Wets topology. It is shown that the space Cld _AW (X) and its various subspaces are AR's. Moreover, if X is an infinite-dimensional Banach space with weight w(X) then Cld _AW (X) is homeomorphic to a Hilbert space with weight 2 ^w(X).

On the Behaviors of Hyperspace Topologies for Subspaces

For a topological space X we denote by CL(X) the collection of all nonempty closed subsets of X. Suppose we have a map T which assigns in some coherent way to every topological space X some topology T(X) on CL(X). In this paper we study continuity and inverse continuity of the map iA,X :(CL(A),T{A)) → (CL(X),T(X)) defined by iA,x(F) = F whenever F ∈CL(A), for various assignment T; in particular, for locally finite topology, upper Kuratowski topology, and Attouch-Wets topology, etc.

Property of Kelley for the Cartesian products and hyperspaces

A continuum having the property of Kelley is constructed such that neither , nor the hyperspace , nor small Whitney levels in have the property of Kelley. This answers several questions asked in the literature.

     

West's problem on equivariant hyperspaces and Banach-Mazur compacta

Let be a compact Lie group, a metric -space, and the hyperspace of all nonempty compact subsets of endowed with the Hausdorff metric topology and with the induced action of . We prove that the following three assertions are equivalent: (a) is locally continuum-connected (resp., connected and locally continuum-connected); (b) is a -ANR (resp., a -AR); (c) is an ANR (resp., an AR). This is applied to show that is an ANR (resp., an AR) for each compact (resp., connected) Lie group . If is a finite group, then is a Hilbert cube whenever is a nondegenerate Peano continuum. Let be the hyperspace of all centrally symmetric, compact, convex bodies , , for which the ordinary Euclidean unit ball is the ellipsoid of minimal volume containing , and let be the complement of the unique -fixed point in . We prove that: (1) for each closed subgroup , is a Hilbert cube manifold; (2) for each closed subgroup acting non-transitively on , the -orbit space and the -fixed point set are Hilbert cubes. As an application we establish new topological models for tha Banach-Mazur compacta and prove that and have the same -homotopy type.

     

The nonexistence of expansive homeomorphisms of a class of continua which contains all decomposable circle-like continua

A homeomorphism of a compactum with metric is expansive if there is such that if and , then there is an integer such that . It is well-known that -adic solenoids () admit expansive homeomorphisms, each is an indecomposable continuum, and cannot be embedded into the plane. In case of plane continua, the following interesting problem remains open: For each , does there exist a plane continuum so that admits an expansive homeomorphism and separates the plane into components? For the case , the typical plane continua are circle-like continua, and every decomposable circle-like continuum can be embedded into the plane. Naturally, one may ask the following question: Does there exist a decomposable circle-like continuum admitting expansive homeomorphisms? In this paper, we prove that a class of continua, which contains all chainable continua, some continuous curves of pseudo-arcs constructed by W. Lewis and all decomposable circle-like continua, admits no expansive homeomorphisms. In particular, any decomposable circle-like continuum admits no expansive homeomorphism. Also, we show that if is an expansive homeomorphism of a circle-like continuum , then is itself weakly chaotic in the sense of Devaney.
