Star versions of the Rothberger property on hyperspaces (Q2215693)

A space \(X\) is said to be star-Rothberger (resp., strongly star-Rothberger) if for each sequence \((\mathcal U_n)\) of open covers of \(X\) there is a sequence \((U_n)\) (resp., \((x_n)\)) such that for each \(n\), \(U_n \in \mathcal U_n\) (resp., \(x_n \in X\)) and \(\{St(U_n,\mathcal U_n): n \in \mathbb N\}\) (resp., \(\{St(x_n,\mathcal U_n): n \in \mathbb N\}\)) is an open cover of \(X\). The authors characterize the star-Rothberger and strongly star-Rothberger properties of the hyperspace over a space \(X\) equipped with the Fell topology in terms of selective properties of \(X\) of \(\pi\)-network-type. They also characterize the strongly star-Rothberger property on hyperspaces endowed with the lower Vietoris topology. Selective versions of metacompactness and and mesocompactness are also considered.
