Abstract: For which groups G is it true that whenever we form a direct limit of G-sets, dirlim_{iin I} X_i, the set of its fixed points, (dirlim_I X_i)^G, can be obtained as the direct limit dirlim_I(X_i^G) of the fixed point sets of the given G-sets? An easy argument shows that this holds if and only if G is finitely generated. If we replace ``group G by ``monoid M, the answer is the less familiar condition that the improper left congruence on M be finitely generated. Replacing our group or monoid with a small category E, the concept of set on which G or M acts with that of a functor E --> Set, and the concept of fixed point set with that of the limit of a functor, a criterion of a similar nature is obtained. The case where E is a partially ordered set leads to a condition on partially ordered sets which I have not seen before (pp.23-24, Def. 12 and Lemma 13). If one allows the {em codomain} category Set to be replaced with other categories, and/or allows direct limits to be replaced with other kinds of colimits, one gets a vast area for further investigation.
