Extract

In a recent paper, Smith ((l)), considering a statement or conjecture of Isbell ((2)), proved that the Hausdorff uniformities arising from two different uniformities on the same set must induce different topologies on the ‘hyperspace’ of subsets, except possibly in one case which remained open, namely, when the two given uniformities induce the same proximity and neither is precompact. I now give an example to show that different uniformities can (in this case) induce the same topology on the hyperspace (in the example one of the uniformities is metric). This disproves Isbell's conjecture.
