In particular, we show that there are only finitely many closure operators of both categories, and provide a complete classification. We use this result to deduce the known fact that epimorphisms of SLatt and SLattO are surjective.

We see that several infinite-dimensional properties are preserved by taking the hyperspace of subsets with at most n points. On the other hand, we prove that, if a metric space contains a sequence of long intervals coarsely, then its hyperspace of finite subsets is not coarsely embeddable into any uniformly convex Banach space. As a corollary, the hyperspace of finite subsets of the real line is not coarsely embeddable into any uniformly convex Banach space.
