Weak selections and pseudocompactness
Given a Tikhonov space \(X\), \(F_{2}(X)\) denotes the hyperspace of non-empty subsets of \(X\) with at most 2 elements, with the Vietoris topology. A weak selection on \(X\) is a continuous function \(f:F_{2}(X)\to X\) such that \(f(A)\in A\) for every \(A\in F_{2}(X)\). In this paper the authors prove that if \(X\) is a pseudocompact space that admits a weak selection, then \(X\) is sequentially compact. This answers questions 5.1 and 5.2 by \textit{G. Artico, U. Marconi, J. Pelant, L. Rotter} and \textit{M. Tkachenko} [Fundam. Math. 175, 1--33 (2002; Zbl 1019.54014)] and generalizes a previous result by \textit{E. K. van Douwen} [Topology Appl. 34, 35-45 (1990; Zbl 0715.54004)] who had proved a similar theorem assuming the stronger hypothesis that \(X\) is countably compact.
