Nonlinear isometries in superreflexive spaces (Q1919591)

The authors use a retraction theorem due to \textit{R. E. Bruck} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 179, 251-262 (1993; Zbl 0265.47043)] and the iteration process of Ishikawa to prove the following extension of Maurey's result: Theorem 1. Let \(X\) be a superreflexive Banach space and let \(K\) be a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of \(X\). Then any countable family of commuting nonlinear isometries of \(K\) into \(K\) has a nonempty common fixed-point set. It remains unknown whether nonempty closed bounded convex subsets of superreflexive spaces have the fixed point property for nonexpansive self mappings. Of course, should this happen to be true, Theorem 1 (even for uncountable families) would follow from \textit{R. E. Bruck}'s result [Pac. J. Math. 53, 59-71 (1974; Zbl 0312.47045)].
