Abstract

In the context of the category Cap\mathsf{Cap} of convergence approach spaces and contractions, we introduce and study approach analogs of the upper and lower Kuratowski convergences, upper-Fell and Fell topologies on the set of closed subsets of the coreflection on the category Conv\mathsf{Conv} of convergence spaces of a convergence approach space. In particular, over a pre-approach space, the Conv\mathsf{Conv}-coreflection of the lower Kuratowski convergence approach structure is the lower Kuratowski convergence associated with the Conv\mathsf{Conv}-coreflection of the base space, while the Conv\mathsf{Conv}-reflection is the lower Kuratowski convergence associated with the Conv\mathsf{Conv}-reflection. The Conv\mathsf{Conv}-coreflection of the upper Kuratowski convergence approach is is the upper Kuratowski convergence associated with the Conv\mathsf{Conv}-reflection of the base space, while the Conv\mathsf{Conv}-reflection is the upper Kuratowski convergence associated with the Conv\mathsf{Conv}-coreflection of the base space. We show that, over an approach space, the lower Kuratowski convergence approach structure is in fact an approach structure that coincides with the \vee-Vietoris approach structure introduced by Lowen and his collaborators, though it may be strictly finer over a general convergence approach space. We show that the upper Fell convergence approach structure is a non-Archimedean approach structure coarser than the upper Kuratowski convergence approach, but finer than the upper Fell approach structure introduced by the first and third author. We also obtain a Cap\mathsf{Cap} abstraction of the classical result that if the upper Kuratowski convergence over a topological space is pretopological, then it is also topological.
