First we prove that if a separable Banach space $X$ contains an isometric copy of an infinite-dimensional space $A(S)$ of affine continuous functions on a Choquet simplex $S$, then its dual $X^*$ lacks the weak$^*$ fixed point property for…

The aim of this paper is to study the $w^*$-fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings in the duals of separable Lindenstrauss spaces by means of suitable geometrical properties of the dual ball. First we show that a property concerning…

We provide a concrete isometric description of all the preduals of $\ell_1$ for which the standard basis in $\ell_1$ has a finite number of $w^*$-limit points. Then, we apply this result to give an example of an $\ell_1$-predual $X$ such…

It is shown that if the dual of a separable Banach space has Property($K^*$) then the original space has the weak fixed point property. This is an improvement of previously results.

A recent example by the authors (see arXiv:1503.09088 [math.FA]) shows that an old result of Zippin about the existence of an isometric copy of $c$ in a separable Lindenstrauss space is incorrect. The same example proves that some…

The main aim of the paper is to study some quantitative aspects of the stability of the weak$^*$ fixed point property for nonexpansive maps in $\ell_1$ (shortly, $w^*$-fpp). We focus on two complementary approaches to this topic. First,…

This paper presents new approaches to the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings in L^1 spaces. While it is well-known that L^1 fails the fixed point property in general, we provide a complete and self-contained proof that…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and let $C$ be a closed convex bounded subset of $X$. It is proved that $C$ is weakly compact if, and only if, $C$ has the {it generic} fixed point property ($\mathcal{G}$-FPP) for the class of $L$-bi-Lipschitz…

Following up on previous work, we prove a number of results for C*-algebras with the weak ideal property or topological dimension zero, and some results for C*-algebras with related properties. Some of the more important results include:…

A nonempty closed convex bounded subset $C$ of a Banach space is said to have the weak approximate fixed point property if for every continuous map $f:C\to C$ there is a sequence $\{x_n\}$ in $C$ such that $x_n-f(x_n)$ converge weakly to 0.…

Suppose that Q is a family of seminorms on a locally convex space E which determines the topology of E. We study the existence of Q-nonexpansive retractions for families of Q-nonexpansive mappings and prove that a separated and sequentially…

Let $X$ be a Banach space. For $x \in X$ with $\|x\| = 1$, we denote the state space by $S_x = \{x^* \in X^* : \|x^*\| = x^*(x) = 1\}.$ In this paper, we study weak$^*$-weak and weak$^*$-$\|\cdot\|$ points of continuity of the identity map…

This work is a comparative study between the existence of fixed point for homomorphisms in a class of binary relationnal systems and the existence of fixed point for nonexpansive mappings in semimetric spaces.

The Brouwer fixed point theorem states that the disk $D^n$ has the fixed point property. More generally, by the Lefschetz fixed point theorem any compact ANR with trivial rational homology has the fixed point property. In this note we prove…

For a finite and positive measure space $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ and any weakly compact convex subset of $L\sp\infty(\Omega,\Sigma,mu)$, a fixed point theorem for a class of nonexpansive self-mappings is proved. An analogous result is obtained…

A Banach space has the weak fixed point property if its dual space has a weak$^*$ sequentially compact unit ball and the dual space satisfies the weak$^*$ uniform Kadec-Klee property; and it has the \fpp if there exists $\epsilon>0$ such…

In this paper the weak fixed point property ($w$-FPP) and the fixed point property (FPP) in Variable Lebesgue Spaces are studied. Given $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ a $\sigma$-finite measure and $p(\cdot)$ a variable exponent function, the $w$-FPP…

The main results of the paper: {\bf (1)} The dual Banach space $X^*$ contains a linear subspace $A\subset X^*$ such that the set $A^{(1)}$ of all limits of weak$^*$ convergent bounded nets in $A$ is a proper norm-dense subset of $X^*$ if…

With every locally compact group $G$, one can associate several interesting bi-invariant subspaces $X(G)$ of the weakly almost periodic functions $\mathrm{WAP}(G)$ on $G$, each of which captures parts of the representation theory of $G$.…

Assume that $X$ is a Banach space of measurable functions for which Koml\'os' Theorem holds. We associate to any closed convex bounded subset $C$ of $X$ a coefficient $t(C)$ which attains its minimum value when $C$ is closed for the…
