Fixed sets and free subgroups of groups acting on metric spaces.
Our main result states that every fixed-point free continuous self-map of ℝⁿ is colorable. This result can be reformulated as follows: A continuous map f: ℝⁿ → ℝⁿ is fixed-point free iff f̃: βℝⁿ → βℝⁿ is fixed-point free. We also obtain a generalization of this fact and present some examples
We describe the extension of the multiplication on a not-necessarily-discrete topological monoid to its flow compactification. We offer two applications. The first is a nondiscrete version of Hindman’s Theorem, and the second is a characterization of the projective minimal and elementary flows in terms of idempotents of the flow compactification of the monoid.
The aim of this paper is to construct a fractal with the help of a finite family of F− contraction mappings, a class of mappings more general than contraction mappings, defined on a complete metric space. Consequently, we obtain a variety of results for iterated function systems satisfying a different set of contractive conditions. Some examples are presented to support the results proved herein. Our results unify, generalize and extend various results in the existing literature.
The purpose of this note is two-fold: firstly, to give a new and interesting result concerning separate and joint continuity, and secondly, to give a stream-lined (and self-contained) proof of the fact that "tame" CHART groups are topological groups.
