Fixed-point theorems

In mathematics, a fixed-point theorem is a result saying that a function F will have at least one fixed point (a point x for which F(x) = x), under some conditions on F that can be stated in general terms. Some authors claim that results of this kind are amongst the most generally useful in mathematics. (Wikipedia).

The Lawvere fixed point theorem

In this video we prove a version of Lawveres fixed point theorem that holds in Cartesian closed categories. It's a nice construction that specializes to results such as Cantors diagonal argument and prove the the power set of a set is classically always larger than the set itself. https:/

Extreme Value Theorem Using Critical Points

Calculus: The Extreme Value Theorem for a continuous function f(x) on a closed interval [a, b] is given. Relative maximum and minimum values are defined, and a procedure is given for finding maximums and minimums. Examples given are f(x) = x^2 - 4x on the interval [-1, 3], and f(x) =

Piotr Przytycki: Torsion groups do not act on 2-dimensional CAT(0) complexes

We show, under mild hypotheses, that if each element of a finitely generated group acting on a 2-dimensional CAT(0) complex has a fixed point, then the action is trivial. In particular, all actions of finitely generated torsion groups on such complexes are trivial. As an ingredient, we pro

Group theory 4: Lagrange's theorem

This is lecture 4 of an online course on mathematical group theory. It introduces Lagrange's theorem that the order of a subgroup divides the order of a group, and uses it to show that all groups of prime order are cyclic, and to prove Fermat's theorem and Euler's theorem.
