Ryll-Nardzewski fixed-point theorem

In functional analysis, a branch of mathematics, the Ryll-Nardzewski fixed-point theorem states that if is a normed vector space and is a nonempty convex subset of that is compact under the weak topology, then every group (or equivalently: every semigroup) of affine isometries of has at least one fixed point. (Here, a fixed point of a set of maps is a point that is fixed by each map in the set.) This theorem was announced by Czesław Ryll-Nardzewski. Later Namioka and Asplund gave a proof based on a different approach. Ryll-Nardzewski himself gave a complete proof in the original spirit. (Wikipedia).

Paul Shafer:Reverse mathematics of Caristi's fixed point theorem and Ekeland's variational principle

The lecture was held within the framework of the Hausdorff Trimester Program: Types, Sets and Constructions. Abstract: Caristi's fixed point theorem is a fixed point theorem for functions that are controlled by continuous functions but are necessarily continuous themselves. Let a 'Caristi

Lefschetz Fixed Point Theorem

In this video we prove the Lefschetz fixed point theorem assuming some properties of our cohomology theory. These notes were really useful as a graduate student, some of them are down now, but I think these notes I had came from here: http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~jinhyun/useful.html

Fixed and Periodic Points | Nathan Dalaklis

Fixed Points and Periodic points are two mathematical objects that come up all over the place in Dynamical systems, Differential equations, and surprisingly in Topology as well. In these videos, I introduce the concepts of fixed points and periodic points and gradually build to a proof of

Topics in Combinatorics lecture 3.0 --- Crossing numbers and point-line incidences

Suppose you have n points and m lines in the plane. A point-line incidence is a pair (P,L) where P is one of the points and L is one of the lines. How many point-line incidences can there be, given m and n? This question is answered by the Szemerédi-Trotter theorem: the answer, up to a mul

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.
