A convex body (compact and convex set) \(A\subset{\mathbb R}^n\) is said to be a body of constant width \(b>0\) if \(\bigl|h_{A}(u)-h_{A}(-u)\bigr|=b\) for every unit vector \(u\in{\mathbb S}^{n-1}\), where \(h_{A}(u)=\max\bigl\{\langle u,a\rangle:a\in A\bigr\}\) denotes the support function of \(A\). In the paper under review, the authors consider the hyperspace of convex bodies of constant width in the infinite-dimensional space \({\mathbb R}^{\infty}=\underrightarrow{\lim}\,{\mathbb R}^n\) given by the direct limit of \({\mathbb R}^n\). Then they prove that this hyperspace is homeomorphic to \(Q^{\infty}\), being \(Q=[0,1]^{\omega}\) the Hilbert cube.
