Abstract:
A locally compact group $G$ is said to have the fixed point property if whenever $G$ acts affinely on a compact convex subset $S$ of a separated locally convex space $E$ with the map $G \times S \to S$ jointly continuous, there is a fixed point for the action. N. Rickert has proved that $G$ has this fixed point property if $G$ is amenable. In this paper, we study the fixed point property for actions of the algebras ${L_1}(G)$ and $M(G)$ and prove some fixed point theorems for locally compact groups.References
