Browder's theorem with general parameter space (Q2073454)

Browder's Fixed Point Theorem states that every continuous function from a nonempty, convex, and compact subset of a Euclidean space into itself has a fixed point. The parametric extension of Browder's Fixed Point Theorem states that for every continuous map \(F:X\times Y \to Y\) where \(X=\left[0,1\right]\) and \(Y\) is a nonempty, convex, and compact subset of a locally convex linear vector space, the set of fixed points of \(F\), defined by \(C_F=\left\{\left(x,y\right)\in X\times Y: F(x,y)=y\right\}\), has a connected component whose projection to the first coordinate is \(X\) (see, [\textit{F. E. Browder}, Summa Brasil. Math. 4, 183--191 (1960; Zbl 0102.37807)]). In this work the authors extend Browder's result to the case that \(X\) is nonempty, connected, and compact Hausdorff.
