Remarks on the weak star fixed point property in the dual of \(C(\Omega)\) (Q1910000): Difference between revisions

This article deals with analysis of the fixed point property for weak* compact convex subsets of the space \({\mathcal C}^*(\Omega)\) dual to the space \({\mathcal C}(\Omega)\) of real continuous functions on an infinite compact Hausdorff topological space \(\Omega\). The main result is the following: this property is separably determined with isometries (it means that this property is valid for the considered subsets of \({\mathcal C}^*(\Omega)\) if and only if it is valid for the separable weak* compact convex subsets of \({\mathcal C}^*(\Omega)\)) although in the case when \(\Omega\) is not dispersed the space \({\mathcal C}^*(\Omega)\) contains an inseparable minimal invariant subset. Some interesting examples using affine contractions and isometries are also included.
