Abstract
In this paper we study the hyperspace of all nonempty closed totally disconnected subsets of a space, equipped with the Vietoris topology. We show results of compactness, connectedness and local connectedness for this hyperspace. We also include a study of path connectedness, particularly we prove that for a smooth dendroid this hyperspace is pathwise connected, and we present a general result which implies that for an Euclidean space this hyperspace has uncountably many arc components.
Keywords
Continuum, hyperspace; locally connected; pathwise connected; totally disconnected set
