Presentation complexes with the fixed point property

Algebraic Topology 2017-03-29 v2

Abstract

We prove that there exists a compact two-dimensional polyhedron with the fixed point property and even Euler characteristic. This answers a question posed by R.H. Bing in 1969. We also settle another of Bing's questions.
