Abstract: Given a metric space $langleX,hoangle$, consider its hyperspace of closed sets $CL(X)$ with the Wijsman topology $a{u}_{W(ho)}$. It is known that $langleCL(X),a{u}_{W(ho)}angle$ is metrizable if and only if $X$ is separable and it is an open question by Di Maio and Meccariello whether this is equivalent to $langleCL(X),a{u}_{W(ho)}angle$ being normal. In this paper we prove that if the weight of $X$ is a regular uncountable cardinal and $X$ is locally separable, then $langleCL(X),a{u}_{W(ho)}angle$ is not normal. We also solve some questions by Cao, Junnilla and Moors regarding isolated points in Wijsman hyperspaces.

Review text

Let \((X,\rho)\) be a metric space and \((CL(X),\tau_{W(\rho)}) \) the hyperspace \(CL(X)\) of all closed non-empty subsets of \(X\) with the Wijsman topology. In 1998, Di Maio and Meccariello asked the followingNEWLINENEWLINE{ Question.} Let \((X,\rho)\) be a metric space. If \((CL(X),\tau_{W(\rho)}) \) is normal, is it true that \(X\) is separable\(?\)NEWLINENEWLINEThe main result of this paper is the following theorem.NEWLINENEWLINE{Theorem.} Let \(\kappa\) be a regular uncountable cardinal. If \((X,\rho)\) is a locally separable metric space of weight \(\kappa\), then \((CL(X),\tau_{W(\rho)})\) is not normal.
