A non-separable Christensen's theorem and set tri-quotient maps (Q1013809)

Let \(X\), \(Y\) be metrizable spaces and \(F:{\mathcal K}(X)\to{\mathcal K}(Y)\) a monotone map acting between the hyperspaces of all compact sets of \(X\), \(Y\) resp., such that any countable \(L\in{\mathcal K}(Y)\) is covered by \(F(Y)\) for some \(K\in{\mathcal K}(X)\). Then \(Y\) is proved to be completely metrizable provided \(X\) is completely metrizable. Generalizations to the case of sieve-complete spaces and set tri-quotient maps are also investigated and possible applications treated.
