We present an alternative proof of the following fact: the hyperspace of compact closed subsets of constant width in $\mathbb R^n$ is a contractible Hilbert cube manifold. The proof also works for certain subspaces of compact convex sets of…

For every tuple $d_1,\dots, d_l\geq 2,$ let $\mathbb{R}^{d_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathbb{R}^{d_l}$ denote the tensor product of $\mathbb{R}^{d_i},$ $i=1,\dots,l.$ Let us denote by $\mathcal{B}(d)$ the hyperspace of centrally symmetric…

For every $n \geq 2$, let $K_k^n$ denote the hyperspace of all $k$-dimensional closed convex subsets of the Euclidean space $R^n$ endowed with the Atouch-Wets topology. Let $ K_{k,b}^n$ be the subset of $K_k^n$ consisting of all…

We determine the homeomorphism type of the hyperspace of positively curved $C^\infty$ convex bodies in $\mathbb R^n$, and derive various properties of its quotient by the group of Euclidean isometries. We make a systematic study of…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $Conv_H(X)$ be the space of non-empty closed convex subsets of $X$, endowed with the Hausdorff metric $d_H$. We prove that each connected component of the space $Conv_H(X)$ is homeomorphic to one of the spaces:…

Our main result states that the hyperspace of convex compact subsets of a compact convex subset $X$ in a locally convex space is an absolute retract if and only if $X$ is an absolute retract of weight $\le\omega_1$. It is also proved that…

In a preceding work it is determined when a centrally symmetric convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d,$ $d=d_1\cdots d_l,$ is the closed unit ball of a reasonable crossnorm on $\mathbb{R}^{d_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathbb{R}^{d_l}.$ Consequently, the…

We study the topology of the space $\d\K^n$ of complete convex hypersurfaces of $\R^n$ which are homeomorphic to $\R^{n-1}$. In particular, using Minkowski sums, we construct a deformation retraction of $\d\K^n$ onto the Grassmannian space…

In this work we define a new pseudometric in $\mathcal K^n_*$, the hyperspace of all non-degenerated compact convex sets of $\mathbb R^n$, which is invariant under similarities. We will prove that the quotient space generated by this…

Let $CLB_H(X)$ denote the hyperspace of closed bounded subsets of a metric space $X$, endowed with the Hausdorff metric topology. We prove, among others, that natural dense subspaces of $CLB_H(R^m)$ of all nowhere dense closed sets, of all…

Given uniformly homeomorphic metric spaces $X$ and $Y$, it is proved that the hyperspaces $C(X)$ and $C(Y)$ are uniformly homeomorphic, where $C(X)$ denotes the collection of all nonempty closed subsets of $X$, and is endowed with Hausdorff…

Extending Blaschke and Lebesgue's classical result in the Euclidean plane, it has been recently proved in spherical and the hyperbolic cases, as well, that Reuleaux triangles have the minimal area among convex domains of constant width $D$.…

In this paper we study convex subcomplexes of spherical buildings. We pay special attention to fixed point sets of type-preserving isometries of spherical buildings. This sets are also convex subcomplexes of the natural polyhedral structure…

We show that total generalized mean curvatures of hypersurfaces with positive reach in Riemannian manifolds, and convex bodies in Cartan-Hadamard spaces, are continuous with respect to Hausdorff distance.

We discuss different regularities on stable/unstable holonomies of cw-hyperbolic homeomorphisms and prove that if a cw-hyperbolic homeomorphism has continuous joint stable/unstable holonomies, then it has a dense set of periodic points in…

We show that compact embedded starshaped $r$-convex hypersurfaces of certain warped products satisfying $H_r=aH+b$ with $a\geqslant 0$, $b>0$, where $H$ and $H_r$ are respectively the mean curvature and $r$-th mean curvature is a slice. In…

When one considers the collection $\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of all compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and equip it with a topology, many questions can be asked about the topological space one ends up with. This is an example of a…
