Abstract
For a space , let , and be the set of all nonempty closed subsets of which are endowed with Vietoris topology, locally finite topology and Fell topology respectively. We prove that is quasi-metrizable if and only if is a separable metrizable space and the set of all non-isolated points of is compact, is quasi-metrizable or symmetrizable if and only if is metrizable and the set of all non-isolated points of is compact, and is quasi-metrizable if and only if is hemicompact and metrizable. As an application, we give a negative answer to a Conjecture in \cite{LL2022}.
