Abstract

For every n2n \geq 2, let KknK_k^n denote the hyperspace of all kk-dimensional closed convex subsets of the Euclidean space RnR^n endowed with the Atouch-Wets topology. Let Kk,bn K_{k,b}^n be the subset of KknK_k^n consisting of all kk-dimensional compact convex subsets. In this paper we explore the topology of KknK_k^n and Kk,bnK_{k,b}^n and the relation of these hyperspaces with the Grassmann manifold Gk(n)G_k(n). We prove that both KknK_k^n and Kk,bnK_{k,b}^n are Hilbert cube manifolds with a fiber bundle structure over Gk(n)G_k(n). We also show that the fiber of Kk,bnK_{k,b}^n with respect to this fiber bundle structure is homeomorphic with Rk(k+1)+2n2×Q\mathbb R^{\frac{k(k+1)+2n}{2}}\times Q, where QQ stands for the Hilbert cube.
