Abstract: It is shown that a metrizable space X, with completely metrizable separable closed subspaces, has a hereditarily Baire hyperspace K(X) of nonempty compact subsets of X endowed with the Vietoris topology tv. In particular, making use of a construction of Saint Raymond, we show in ZFC that there exists a non-completely metrizable, metrizable space X with hereditarily Baire hyperspace (K(X),tv); thus settling a problem of Bouziad. Hereditary Baireness of (K(X),tv) for a Moore space X is also characterized in terms of an auxiliary product space and the strong Choquet game. Finally, using a result of Kunen, a non-consonant metrizable space having completely metrizable separable closed subspaces is constructed under CH. ? 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
