On Ciric's fixed point theorem
The results concern clopen sets in products of topological spaces. It is shown that a clopen subset of the product of two separable metrizable (or locally compact) spaces is not always a union of clopen boxes. It is also proved that any clopen subset of the product of two spaces, one of which is compact, can always be represented as a union of clopen boxes.
We show that the Hilbert space is coarsely embeddable into any for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. It follows that coarse embeddability into ℓ₂ and into are equivalent for 1 ≤ p < 2.
