Small cardinals and the pseudocompactness of hyperspaces of subspaces of

Abstract: We study the relations between a generalization of pseudocompactness, named

(k a p p a, M)

-pseudocompactness, the countably compactness of subspaces of

and the pseudocompactness of their hyperspaces. We show, by assuming the existence of

m a t h f r a k c

-many selective ultrafilters, that there exists a subspace of

that is

(k a p p a, o m e g a^{*})

-pseudocompact for all

k a p p a < m a t h f r a k c

, but

e x t C L (X)

isn't pseudocompact. We prove in ZFC that if

is such that

X

is

(m a t h f r a k c, o m e g a^{*})

-pseudocompact, then

e x t C L (X)

is pseudocompact, and we further explore this relation by replacing

m a t h f r a k c

for some small cardinals. We provide an example of a subspace of

for which all powers below

m a t h f r a k h

are countably compact whose hyperspace is not pseudocompact, we show that if

o m e g a s u b s e t e q X

, the pseudocompactness of

e x t C L (X)

implies that

X

is

(k a p p a, o m e g a^{*})

-pseudocompact for all

k a p p a < m a t h f r a k h

, and provide an example of such an

X

that is not

(m a t h f r a k b, o m e g a^{*})

-pseudocompact.
