On spirals and fixed point property

Roman Mańka — 1994

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study the famous examples of G. S. Young [7] and R. H. Bing [2]. We generalize and simplify a little their constructions. First we introduce Young spirals which play a basic role in all considerations. We give a construction of a Young spiral which does not have the fixed point property (see Section 5) . Then, using Young spirals, we define two classes of uniquely arcwise connected curves, called Young spaces and Bing spaces. These classes are analogous to the examples mentioned above. The definitions...

The topological fixed point property - an elementary continuum-theoretic approach

Roman Mańka — 2007

Banach Center Publications

A set contained in a topological space has the topological fixed point property if every continuous mapping of the set into itself leaves some point fixed. In 1969, R. H. Bing published his article The Elusive Fixed Point Property, posing twelve intriguing and difficult problems, which exerted a great influence on the study of the fixed point property. We now present a survey article intended for a broad audience that reports on this area of fixed point theory. The exposition is also intended to...
