Rothberger and Rothberger-type star selection principles on hyperspaces (Q2218663)

For a topological space \(X\), let \(CL (X)\) denote the hyperspace consisting of all nonempty closed subsets of \(X\) endowed with the Vietoris topology, and let \(\mathbb{K}(X)\) (resp., \(\mathbb{F}(X)\), \(\mathbb{CS}(X)\)) be the subspace consisting of all nonempty compact subsets (resp., nonempty finite subsets, convergent sequences) of \(X\). Motivated by the work of \textit{Z. Li} [Topology Appl. 212, 90--104 (2016; Zbl 1355.54014)], the authors characterize the Rothberger property and two selection principles called star-Rothberger and strongly star-Rothberger in the spaces \(CL (X)\), \(\mathbb{K}(X)\), \(\mathbb{F}(X)\) and \(\mathbb{CS}(X)\). Let \(X\) be a topological space and let \(\Lambda\) be one of the hyperspaces \(CL (X)\), \(\mathbb{K}(X)\), \(\mathbb{F}(X)\) and \(\mathbb{CS}(X)\). Let \(\mathbf{S}_1(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})\) be the selection principle defined by \textit{M. Scheepers} [Topology Appl. 69, No. 1, 31--62 (1996; Zbl 0848.54018)]. The authors introduce the notion of \(\pi_V(\Lambda)\)-network modifying the notion of \(\pi_V\)-network defined by Li [loc. cit.], and two selection principles \(\mathbf{S}_{\Pi_V} (\Pi_V(\Lambda),\Pi_V(\Lambda))\) and \(\mathbf{S}^*_{\Pi_V} (\Pi_V(\Lambda),\Pi_V(\Lambda))\), where \(\Pi_V (\Lambda)\) is the collection of \(\pi_V(\Lambda)\)-networks of \(X\). The following theorems are proved: \(\Lambda\) has the Rothberger property if and only if \(X\) satisfies \(\mathbf{S}_{1} (\Pi_V(\Lambda),\Pi_V(\Lambda))\); \(\Lambda\) is strongly star-Rothberger if and only if \(X\) satisfies \(\mathbf{S}_{\Pi_V} (\Pi_V(\Lambda),\Pi_V(\Lambda))\); and \(\Lambda\) is star-Rothberger if and only if \(X\) satisfies \(\mathbf{S}^*_{\Pi_V} (\Pi_V(\Lambda),\Pi_V(\Lambda))\). Let \(\mathcal{D}\) denote the family of dense subsets of a given space. The authors also give a characterization of the selection principle \(\mathbf{S}_1 (\mathcal{D},\mathcal{D})\) for \(\Lambda\) following ideas by Li [loc. cit.].
