Hyperspaces of Banach Spaces with the Attouch—Wets Topology

Let X be an infinite-dimensional Banach space with weight τ. By Cld _AW (X), we denote the hyperspace of nonempty closed sets in X with the Attouch—Wets topology. By Fin _AW (X), Comp _AW (X) and Bdd _AW (X), we denote the subspaces of Cld _AW (X) consisting of finite sets, compact sets and bounded closed sets, respectively. In this paper, it is proved that Fin _AW (X)≈Comp _AW (X)≈ℓ₂(τ)×ℓ₂ ^f ℓandℓBdd _AW (X)≈ℓ₂(2^τ)×ℓ₂ ^f where ≈ means ‘is homeomorphic to’, ℓ₂(τ) is the Hilbert space with weight τ (ℓ₂(ℵ₀)=ℓ₂ the separable Hilbert space) and ℓ₂ ^f ={(x _i ) _iεN εℓ₂∣x _i =0 except for finitely many iεN}.
