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…

For a topological space $X$, let $CL(X)$ be the set of all non-empty closed subset of $X$, and denote the set $CL(X)$ with the Vietoris topology by $(CL(X), \mathbb{V})$. In this paper, we mainly discuss the hyperspace $(CL(X), \mathbb{V})$…

In this paper, we continue to study pairwise ($k$-semi-)stratifiable bitopological spaces. Some new characterizations of pairwise $k$-semi-stratifiable bitopological spaces are provided. Relationships between pairwise stratifiable and…

Let $X$ be a metrizable space and ${\rm Comp}(X)$ be the hyperspace consisting of non-empty compact subsets of $X$ endowed with the Vietoris topology. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on $X$ for ${\rm Comp}(X)$ to…

Let $X$ be a set and $2^X$ be a set of all subsets of $X$. The necessary and sufficient conditions under which a mapping $X \to 2^X$ is a closure of one-point sets in some $T_0$-space $(X, \tau)$ are described. It is proved that every…

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 1987, I. Labuda proved a general representation theorem that, as a special case, shows that the topology of local convergence in measure is the minimal topology on Orlicz spaces and $L_{\infty}$. Minimal topologies connect with the…

We describe the order type of range sets of compact ultrametrics and show that an ultrametrizable infinite topological space $(X, \tau)$ is compact iff the range sets are order isomorphic for any two ultrametrics compatible with the…

Let $X$ be a (topological) space and $Cl(X)$ the collection of nonempty closed subsets of $X$. Given a topology on $Cl(X)$, making $Cl(X)$ a space, a (subset) hyperspace of $X$ is a subspace $\mathcal{J}\subset Cl(X)$ with an embedding…

We show in ZF that: (i) Every subcompact metrizable space is completely metrizable, and every completely metrizable space is countably subcompact. (ii) A metrizable space X=(X,T) is countably compact iff it is countably subcompact relative…

For a separable locally compact but not compact metrizable space $X$, let $\alpha X = X \cup \{x_\infty\}$ be the one-point compactification with the point at infinity $x_\infty$. We denote by $EM(X)$ the space consisting of admissible…

Let $(X,\rho)$ be a metric space and $(CL(X),W_\rho)$ be the hyperspace of all nonempty closed subsets of $X$ equipped with the Wijsman topology. The Wijsman topology is one of the most important classical hyperspace topologies. We give a…

For a k-flat F inside a locally compact CAT(0)-space X, we identify various conditions that ensure that F bounds a (k+1)-dimensional half flat in X. Our conditions are formulated in terms of the ultralimit of X. As applications, we obtain…

We establish the following uniformization result for metric spaces $X$ of finite Hausdorff 2-measure. If $X$ is homeomorphic to a smooth 2-manifold $M$ with non-empty boundary, then we show that $X$ admits a quasiconformal almost…

We prove that a topological Clifford semigroup $S$ is metrizable if and only if $S$ is an $M$-space and the set $E=\{e\in S:ee=e\}$ of idempotents of $S$ is a metrizable $G_\delta$-set in $S$. The same metrization criterion holds also for…

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…

We consider extensions of quasiconformal maps and the uniformization theorem to the setting of metric spaces $X$ homeomorphic to $\mathbb R^2$. Given a measure $\mu$ on such a space, we introduce $\mu$-quasiconformal maps $f:X \to \mathbb…
