Given a metric space $\langle X,\rho \rangle$, consider its hyperspace of closed sets $CL(X)$ with the Wijsman topology $\tau_{W(\rho)}$. It is known that $\langle{CL(X),\tau_{W(\rho)}}\rangle$ is metrizable if and only if $X$ is separable…

In this paper, we study normality and metrizability of Wijsman hyperspaces. We show that every hereditarily normal Wijsman hyperspace is metrizable. This provides a partially answer to a problem of Di Maio and Meccariello in 1998.

For a space $X$, let $(CL(X), \tau_V)$, $(CL(X), \tau_{locfin})$ and $(CL(X), \tau_F)$ be the set $CL(X)$ of all nonempty closed subsets of $X$ which are endowed with Vietoris topology, locally finite topology and Fell topology…

There exists a completely metrizable bounded metrizable space $X$ with compatible metrics $d,d'$ so that the hyperspace $CL(X)$ of nonempty closed subsets of $X$ endowed with the Hausdorff metric $H_d$, $H_{d'}$, resp. is…

It is shown that if a $T_2$ topological space $X$ contains a closed uncountable discrete subspace, then the spaces $(\omega_1 + 1)^{\omega}$ and $(\omega_1 + 1)^{\omega_1}$ embed into $(CL(X),\tau_F)$, the hyperspace of nonempty closed…

In this paper, topological properties of Wijsman hyperspaces are investigated. We study the existence of isolated points in Wijsman hyperspaces. We show that every Tychonoff space can be embedded as a closed subspace in the Wijsman…

For a metrizable space $X$ of density $\kappa$, let $PM(X)$ be the space of continuous bounded pseudometrics on $X$ endowed with the uniform convergence topology. In this paper, its topology shall be classified as follows: (i) If $X$ is…

A space $X$ is called $CCS$-normal space if there exist a normal space $Y$ and a bijection $f: X\mapsto Y$ such that $f\lvert_C:C\mapsto f(C)$ is homeomorphism for any cellular-compact subset $C$ of $X$. We discuss about the relations…

We consider sets of reals $X$ endowed with the Sorgenfrey lower limit topology denoted $X[\leq]$. Przymusi\'nski proved that if $X$ is a $Q$-set then $(X[\leq])^2$ is normal. While the converse is not in general true we consider examples of…

Let X be quasi-isometric to either the mapping class group equipped with the word metric, or to Teichmuller space equipped with either the Teichmuller metric or the Weil-Petersson metric. We introduce a unified approach to study the coarse…

If $X$ is a (topological) space, the $n$th finite subset space of $X$, denoted by $X(n)$, consists of $n$-point subsets of $X$ (i.e., nonempty subsets of cardinality at most $n$) with the quotient topology induced by the unordering map…

Let ${\rm Fin}(X)$ be the hyperspace consisting of non-empty finite subsets of a space $X$ endowed with the Vietoris topology. In this paper, we characterize a metrizable space $X$ whose hyperspace ${\rm Fin}(X)$ is homeomorphic to the…

In this paper a generalization of Urysohn's metrization theorem is given for higher cardinals. Namely, it is shown that a topological space with a basis of cardinality at most $|\omega_\mu|$ or smaller is $\omega_\mu$-metrizable if and only…

Given a Tychonoff space $X$, let $\varrho(X)$ be the set of remote points of $X$. We view $\varrho(X)$ as a topological space. In this paper we assume that $X$ is metrizable and ask for conditions on $Y$ so that $\varrho(X)$ is homeomorphic…

The 'contracting boundary' of a proper geodesic metric space consists of equivalence classes of geodesic rays that behave like rays in a hyperbolic space. We introduce a geometrically relevant, quasi-isometry invariant topology on the…

For any countable $CW$-complex $K$ and a cardinal number $\tau\geq\omega$ we construct a completely metrizable space $X(K,\tau)$ of weight $\tau$ with the following properties: $\e X(K,\tau)\leq K$, $X(K,\tau)$ is an absolute extensor for…

Optimal transport enables one to construct a metric on the set of (sufficiently small at infinity) probability measures on any (not too wild) metric space X, called its Wasserstein space W(X). In this paper we investigate the geometry of…

The classical uniformization theorem states that any simply connected Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to the disk, the plane, or the sphere, each equipped with a standard conformal structure. We give a similar uniformization for…

For a regular space $X$, the hyperspace $(CL(X), \tau_{F})$ (resp., $(CL(X), \tau_{V})$) is the space of all nonempty closed subsets of $X$ with the Fell topology (resp., Vietoris topology). In this paper, we give the characterization of…

Riemannian manifolds of quasi-constant sectional curvatures (QC-manifolds) are divided into two basic classes: with positive or negative horizontal sectional curvatures. We prove that the Riemannian QC-manifolds with positive horizontal…
