Vietoris hyperspace; continuous selection; function space; weakly orderable space
Summary:
It is proved that for a zero-dimensional space $X$, the function space $C_p(X,2)$ has a Vietoris continuous selection for its hyperspace of at most 2-point sets if and only if $X$ is separable. This provides the complete affirmative solution to a question posed by Tamariz-Mascarúa. It is also obtained that for a strongly zero-dimensional metrizable space $E$, the function space $C_p(X,E)$ is weakly orderable if and only if its hyperspace of at most 2-point sets has a Vietoris continuous selection. This provides a partial positive answer to a question posed by van Mill and Wattel.
