| Let $(X, {cal U})$ be a quasiuniform space, ${cal K}(X)$ be the family of all nonempty compact subsets of $(X, {cal U})$. In this paper, the notion of compact symmetry for $(X, {cal U})$ is introduced, and relationships between the Bourbaki quasiuniformity and the Vietoris topology on ${cal K}(X)$ are examined. Furthermore we establish that for a compactly symmetric quasiuniform space $(X, {cal U})$ the Bourbaki quasiuniformity ${cal U}_*$ on ${cal K}(X)$ is complete if and only if ${cal U}$ is complete. This theorem generalizes the well-known Zenor-Morita theorem for uniformisable spaces to the quasiuniform setting. |
