## Borel selectors for upper semi-continuous set-valued maps.(English)Zbl 0588.54020

A set-valued map F from a topological space X to a topological space Y is said to be upper semi-continuous (u.s.c.) if the set $$\{$$ x:F(x)$$\cap H\neq \emptyset \}$$ is closed in X, whenever H is a closed set in Y. A function $$f: X\to Y$$ is said to be a selector for F if f(x)$$\in F(x)$$, for all $$x\in X$$. The paper concentrates on the situation when X is metric and Y is a Banach space with its weak or weak-star topology, but some theorems have more general form.
In the beginning ”the nearest point selection” method allows the authors to obtain the theorem: Let X be a metric space and let Y be a Banach space with an equivalent strictly convex norm. Let F be a weakly u.s.c. set-valued map from X to Y, with non-empty convex and weakly compact values. Then F has a Borel measurable selector f of the first Borel class (i.e. $$f^{-1}(H)$$ is a $$G_{\delta}$$-set in X, whenever H is a weak closed set in Y; the weak-star modification is also true).
But the main result of the paper deals with the Radon-Nikodym property (RNP) and culminates in the following: (i) Let X be a metric space and $$Y^*$$ be the dual space to the Banach space Y. Suppose that $$Y^*$$ has RNP. Let F be a weak-star u.s.c. set-valued map from X to $$Y^*$$. Suppose further, that F takes only non-empty weak-star closed values. Then there exists a norm-Borel measurable selector f for F of the first Baire class (i.e. f is a pointwise limit of a sequence of norm continuous functions from X to $$Y^*)$$; (ii) the conclusion in (i) holds for all such F only when $$Y^*$$ has RNP. In the proof of (i) the RNP of $$Y^*$$ is used in some equivalent form, namely for any bounded weak-star closed subset F of $$Y^*$$ there is a point in which the identity map on F is weak-star-to-norm continuous. Some corollaries concerning maximal monotone maps, subdifferentials, attainment maps, and metric projections are also included.
A summary of above and related results has appeared [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 299, 125-128 (1984; Zbl 0569.28012)]. The papers announced there and connected with the present paper have already been published [the authors, R. W. Hansell and I. Labuda, Math. Z. 189, 297-318 (1985; Zbl 0544.54016); the first author, R. W. Hansell and M. Talagrand, J. Reine Angew. Math. 361, 201-220 (1985; Zbl 0573.54012)]. The reviewer does not know why almost all of these papers have been published in different journals.
