conjecture mentioned in the title deals with the question of whether the classical Schauder fixed point theorem (``Let \\(C\\) be a nonempty convex set in a separated locally convex topological vector space and \\(f:C\\to C\\) a continuous mapping such that \\(f(C)\\) is contained in a compact subset of \\(C\\). Then \\(f\\) has a fixed point.'') really needs the assumption of local convexity. In fact, \\textit{Schauder} himself [Studia Math. 2, 171-180 (1930; JFM 56.0355.01)] believed he had proven the theorem for arbitrary completely metrizable vector spaces but he left an argument for the reader which requires local convexity. Some years later, \\textit{S. Lefschetz} [Topics in topology, Ann. Math. Stud. 10 (1942; Zbl 0061.39303)] proposed another argument which was supposed to work in the non-locally convex case. A closer inspection of the proof, however, reveals that an essential argument will work only in the locally convex case. (As a matter of fact, Lefschetz himself must have felt uneasy about his proof since in the second printing it is stated that a ``major correction'' has been made in this proof; this reviewer has, however, been unable to detect a version of the first printing of this book and the proof therein.) NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe present author now solves this long standing problem by introducing new ideas. If \\(X\\) is a compact space, denote by \\(P(X)\\) the set of all probability measures on \\(X\\) with finite support and by \\(P_n(X)\\) the set of all \\(\\mu\\in P(X)\\) such that the support of \\(\\mu\\) contains at most \\(n\\) points, so \\(P_1(X)\\) can be identified with \\(X\\). Schauder's theorem then is a consequence of the following more general theorem: If \\(X\\) is compact then each continuous mapping \\(P(X)\\to X\\) has a fixed point. A result by Shchepin (which can be found as Theorem 3.1.9 in [\\textit{V.V. Fedorchuk} and \\textit{A. Chigogidze}, Absolute retracts and infinite-dimensional manifolds (1992; Zbl 0762.54017)]) reduces the problem to the case where \\(X\\) is metrizable. A crucial step in the argument then is played by the free topological vector space \\(E(X)\\) generated by \\(X\\) and the set \\(\\mathcal{P}(X)\\) of those topologies on \\(E(X)\\) which make \\(E(X)\\) into a metric linear space and are coarser than the free topology [the author, Fundam. Math 146, No. 1, 85-99 (1994; Zbl 0817.54014)]. If \\(\\varphi:Z\\to X\\) is a map denote by \\(\\widehat{\\varphi}:P(Z)\\to P(X)\\) the canonical extension. The main step in the proof then rests upon the following result: Let \\(X\\) be a compact metrizable space. Then there is a countably dimensional compact metrizable space \\(Z\\) and a continuous mapping \\(\\varphi:Z\\to X\\) such that the following holds: If \\(\\tau\\in\\mathcal{T}(X)\\) and \\(\\tau'\\in\\mathcal{T}(Z)\\) are such that \\(\\widehat{\\varphi}:(P(Z),\\tau')\\to(P(X),\\tau)\\) is continuous then for each \\(\\tau\\)-open cover \\(\\mathcal{U}\\) of \\(P(X)\\) and each countable locally finite simplicial complex \\(N\\) and each continuous map \\(\\xi:N\\to X\\) there is a continuous map \\(\\eta:N\\to (P(Z),\\tau')\\) such that \\(\\widehat{\\varphi}\\circ\\eta\\) and \\(\\xi\\) are \\(\\mathcal{U}\\)-close and \\(\\eta(N)\\cup P_2(Z)\\) is \\(\\tau'\\)-compact.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2773248$05CE0450-C1AB-4790-A862-717A70181921","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"4fea8c273f1a6845d0930057e5f06ed705673a6f","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":1110853,"id":"Q1110853"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2773248$A716728C-D0C1-4586-918C-58E242046A40","rank":"normal"}]},"sitelinks":{"mardi":{"site":"mardi","title":"Publication:2773248","badges":[],"url":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Publication:2773248"}}}}}
