Abstract

An nn-mean (also called a ''topological social choice rule'') on a topological space XX is a continuous function p:XnXp:X^n\to X satisfying p(x,,x)=xp(x,\dots, x)=x for every xXx\in X and p(x1,,xn)=p(xσ(1),xσ(n))p(x_1,\dots, x_n)=p(x_{\sigma(1)},\dots x_{\sigma(n)}) for any permutation σ\sigma of {1,,n}\{1,\dots, n\}. If, in addition, XX is a GG-space and pp is equivariant with respect to the diagonal action of GG on XnX^n, we say that pp is an equivariant nn-mean. In this paper, we continue the work initiated by H. Ju\'arez-Anguiano about conditions on a GG-space XX, under which the existence of an equivariant nn-mean guarantees that XX is a GG-AR. We also explore this problem when we remove the symmetry condition on the definition of an nn-mean.
