Abstract:
It is shown that continua which are arcwise connected and contain no simple closed curves have the fixed point property for homeomorphisms, answering in the affirmative a question of Bing. The proof uses measure theoretic techniques. Given a homeomorphism $h$ of a compact metric space $X$ onto itself, a probability measure is constructed on $X$ which is invariant under $h$.References
