Let $K(X) \coloneqq \{ K \subseteq X : \text{ compact}\}$. The Vietoris topology has a basis given by $\{K \subseteq U\}$, $U$ open (type 1) and $\{K : K \cap U \neq \emptyset\}$, $U$ open (type 2). The Hausdorff metric on $K(X)$, $d_H(K,L)$ is the smallest $\epsilon$ such that $K \subseteq B_{\epsilon}(L) \land L \subseteq B_\epsilon(K)$. This is equal to the maximal point to set distance, $\max_{a \in A} d(a,B)$. On previous sheets, we checked that $d_H$ is a metric. If $X$ is separable, then so is $K(X)$. % END RECAP \begin{fact} Let $(X,d)$ be a complete metric space. Then so is $(K(X), d_H)$. \end{fact} \begin{proof} We need to show that $(K(X), d_H)$ is complete. Let $(K_n)_{ n< \omega}$ be Cauchy in $(K(X), d_H)$. Wlog.~$K_n \neq \emptyset$ for all $n$. Let $K = \{ x \in X : \forall x \in U \overset{\text{open}}{\subseteq} X.~ \text{ $X$ intersects $K_n$ for infinitely many $n$}\}$. Equivalently, $K = \{x : x \text{ is a cluster point of some subsequence $(x_n)$ with $x_n \in K_n$ for all $K_n$}\}$. (A cluster point is a limit of some subsequence). \begin{claim} $K_n \to K$. \end{claim} \begin{subproof} Note that $K$ is closed (the complement is open). \begin{claim} $K \neq \emptyset$. \end{claim} \begin{subproof} As $(K_n)$ is Cauchy, there exists a sequence $(x_n)$ with $x_n \in K_n$ such that there exists a subsequence $(x_{n_i})$ with $d(x_{n_i}, x_{n_{i+1}}) < \frac{1}{2^{i+1}}$. Let $n_0,n_1,\ldots$ be such that $d_H(K_a, K_b) < 2^{-i-1}$ for $a,b \ge n_i$. Pick $x_{n_0} \in K_{n_0}$. Then let $x_{n_{i+1}} \in K_{n_{i+1}}$ be such that $d(x_{n_i}, x_{n_{i+1}})$ is minimal. Then $x_{n_i} \xrightarrow{i \to \infty} x$ and we have $x \in K$. \end{subproof} \begin{claim} $K$ is compact. \end{claim} \begin{subproof} We show that $K$ is complete and totally bounded. Since $K$ is a closed subset of a complete space, it is complete. So it suffices to show that $K$ is totally bounded. Let $\epsilon > 0$ Take $N$ such that $d_H(K_i,K_j) < \epsilon$ for all $i,j \ge N$. Cover $K_N$ with finitely many $\epsilon$-balls with centers $z_i$. Take $x \in K$. Then the $\epsilon$-ball around $x$ intersects $K_j$ for some $j \ge N$, so there exists $z_i$ such that $d(x,z_i) < 3\epsilon$. Note that a subset of a bigger space is totally bounded iff it is totally bounded in itself. \end{subproof} Now we show that $K_n \to K$ in $K(X)$. Let $\epsilon > 0$. Take $N$ such that for all $m,n \ge N$, $d_H(K_m,K_n) < \frac{\epsilon}{2}$. We'll first show that $\delta(K, K_n) < \epsilon$ for all $n > N$. Let $x \in K$. Take $(x_{n_i})$ with $x_{n_i} \in K_{n_i}, x_{n_i} \to x$. Then for large $i$, we have $n_i \ge N$ and $d(x_{n_i}, x) < \frac{\epsilon}{2}$. Take $n \ge N$. Then there exists $y_n \in K_n$ with $d(y_n, x_{n_i}) < \frac{\epsilon}{2}$. So $d(x,y_n) < \epsilon$. Now show that $\delta(K_n, K) < \epsilon$ for all $n \ge N$. Take $y \in K_n$. Show that $d(y,K) < \epsilon$. To do this, construct a sequence of $y_{n_i} \in K_{n_i}$ starting with $y$ such that $d(y_{n_i}, y_{n_{i+1}}) < \frac{\epsilon}{2^{i+2}}$. (same trick as before). \end{subproof} \end{proof} \begin{fact} If $X$ is compact metrisable, then so is $K(X)$. \end{fact} \begin{proof} We have just shown that $X$ is complete. So it suffices to show that it is totally bounded. Let $\epsilon > 0$. Cover $X$ with finitely many $\epsilon$-balls. Let $F$ be the set of the centers of these balls. Consider $\cP(F) \setminus \{\emptyset\}$. Clearly $\{B_x^{d_H} : x \in \cP(F) \setminus \{\emptyset\} \}$ is a finite cover of $K(X)$. \end{proof} % TODO complete and totally bounded Sutherland metric and topological spaces
