Abstract:
We define rational irreducible continua in the plane that admit fixed-point-free maps with the condition that all of their tranches have the fixed-point property. This answers in the affirmative a question of Hagopian. The construction is based on a special class of spirals that limit on a double Warsaw circle. The closure of each of these spirals has the fixed-point property.
