Compactly convex sets in linear topological spaces

Abstract: A convex subset X of a linear topological space is called compactly convex if there is a continuous compact-valued map

P h i : X o e x p (X)

such that

[x, y] s u b s e t P h i (x) c u p P h i (y)

for all

x, y i n X

. We prove that each convex subset of the plane is compactly convex. On the other hand, the space

R^{3}

contains a convex set that is not compactly convex. Each compactly convex subset

X

of a linear topological space

L

has locally compact closure

which is metrizable if and only if each compact subset of

X

is metrizable.
