Abstract: The purpose of the talk is to present new completeness results about the topology of bornological convergence S on the hyperspace C (X) of all nonempty closed subsets of a metric space (X; d). Two of the oldest and best applied hypertopologies, the Hausdor metric topology Hd and the Attouch-Wets topology AWd are prototypes of S. It is well-known that if (X; d) is a complete metric space, then both (CL(X); Hd ) and (CL(X); AWd ) are completely metrizable, however, since these topologies are sensitive to the metric of the base space X, complete metrizability of the hyperspaces may not automatically follow, if X is completely metrizable. Indeed, it will be demonstrated that a bounded completely metrizable space (X;d) exists, so that (CL(X); Hd ) contains a closed copy of the rationals. The methods used, involving topological games, then can be generalized to obtain a characterization of complete metrizablity of all topologies of bornological convergence. Other completeness properties of these hyperspaces, as well as some open problems, will be also discussed.
