$E$
be
a
Banach space
and
$X$
be
a
weakly
conlpact
convex
subset
of
$E$
.
Let
$S=\{T_{s} ; s\in S\}$
be
a
continuous representation
of
a
semitopological
semigroup
$S$
as
non-expansive
self-maps
on
$X$

2. Normal
Structure
and
Submean
Let
$E$
be
a
Banach space.
$D$
be
a
bounded
subset
of
$E,$
$u\in D$
.
Define
$r_{u}(D)= \sup\{||u-v||:v\in D\}$
.
Thell
$r_{u}(D)\leq \mathrm{d}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{a}\ln(D)=\mathrm{s}’ \mathrm{u}_{1^{)}\{}||v_{1}-v_{2}||:v_{1},$
$v_{2}\in D\}$
.
A point
$u$
in
$D$
is said to
be
dianletl
$\cdot$al if
$r_{u}(D)=\mathrm{d}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{m}(D)$
.
Otherwise,
$u$
is said to be non-diametral.
A
convex
subset
$X$
of
$E$
is said to
have normal
structure if each closed
convex
subset
$D$
of
$\cdot$$X$
with
$\mathrm{d}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{l}(D)>0$
contains
a
noll-diallletl
$\cdot$al point
i.e. there exists
$u\in D$
sncll that
$\sup\{||u-v||\backslash v\in D\}<\mathrm{d}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{u}(D)$
.
As
well known compact
convex
subset of
a
Banach
space
$E$
has nornlal
structure.
Also.
$\mathrm{u}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{f}_{01}\cdot \mathrm{n}11\mathrm{y}$convex
Banach
spaces
llave normal
$\mathrm{s}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{r}\iota 1\mathrm{c}\mathrm{t}_{\mathrm{U}1}\cdot \mathrm{e}$(see
[4]).
However it follows
fronl
[1]
that
weakly compact
convex
subset
of
a
Banach space
need
not have
normal
structure.
Let
$S$
be
a
semitopological
semigroup i.e.
$S$
is
a
$\mathrm{s}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{l}\cdot \mathrm{o}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p}$with
a
$\mathrm{H}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{d}_{01}\cdot \mathrm{f}\mathrm{f}$topology such that for each
$a\in S$
,
the
mappings
$s-\rangle$
as
and
$s\mapsto sa$
from
$S-S$
$\mathrm{a}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{e}$
continuous.
Let
$CB_{r}(S)$
be
the space
of bounded
$1^{\cdot}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{l}$-valued functions
on
$G$
.
A
sub
$7neanl^{l}$
is
a
real-valued
function
on
$CB_{r}(S)$
satisfying:
(i)
$l^{l},(f$
.
$+g)\leq_{l^{l}}(f)+\mu(_{j}().$
$f..J(\in CB_{r}(S)$
:
(ii)
$l^{\iota}(\alpha f)=\alpha\mu(f)$
.
$\alpha\geq 0$
,
$f$
.
$\in CB_{r}(S)$
;
(iii)
for
$f’,$
$g\in CB_{r}(S)$
,
$f\leq g$
,
$l^{b}(f)\leq\{l(cJ)$
;
(iv)
$l^{(},(C)=c$
for
every
constant
$\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{U}11}\mathrm{c}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{o}\mathrm{n}}c$.
Tlle notion of
$\mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{b}_{1}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{n}$is due to Mizoguchi-Takahashi [12]. A submean
$l^{l}$
is
left
$invar\cdot i\text{ノ}ant$
if
$\mu(\ell_{a}f)=_{l^{\iota(f)}}$
for
all
$a\in S,$
$f\in CB_{r}(S)$
where
$(\ell_{a}f)(t)=f$
(at),
$t\in S$
.
A
$\mathrm{s}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{O}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{a}1}$senligroup

Let
$S$

(a)
If
$S$

then
$CB,,(S)$
has
a

(b)
If
$S$
is
normal,
and
$CB_{r}(s)$
has
a
left

$S$
is

.
$\mathrm{T}\mathrm{h}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{l}\cdot \mathrm{C}$
is
also
a
relation between
$\mathrm{n}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{l}\cdot 11\mathrm{l}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{l}$structure
and
invariant submean.
Lemma 2
([9]). Let
$X$
be
a
weakly

conve.
$\iota$subset
of
$\cdot$a
Banach space.
If
$X$
has
$no7^{\cdot}7nal$

$X$

on
$X$
,
if
$\ell\iota$is
a

on
$CB_{r}(S)$
.
then
the
set
$A_{x}=\{y\in X;l^{l_{t}(1}|T_{t}x-y||)=\rho_{x}\}$
is
a

The

Let

If

then

Fixed
Point Property
and the
Fourier-Stieltjes Algebra
Let
$G$
be
a
locally
conlpact
group
with
a
fixed left Haar
$\mathrm{m}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{l}\cdot \mathrm{e}\lambda$.
The standard
Lebesgue
space
of integrable functions
with respect to
$\lambda$will be
denoted
by
$L^{1}(G)$
:
$CB(G)$
will denote
the
space
of
all
bounded
continuous
conlplex-valued
functions
on
$G$
and
$c_{00()}c$
will denote the space
of functiolls in
$CB(G)$
with
conlpact
$\mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{l}\cdot \mathrm{t}$.
Let
$P(G)\subseteq$
$CB(G)$
be the
set
of continuous
positive
definite functions
on
$G$
,
$B(G)$
its linear span.
The space
$B(G)$
can
be
identified
with
the
dual of
the
group
$C^{*}- \mathrm{a}\mathrm{I}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{b}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{a}C^{*}(G)$,
this
lattel being
the colllpletion
of
$L^{1}(G)$
under
its largest
$C^{*}$
-norm.
Indeed.
we
have the
duality
$\langle\phi. f.\rangle=\int_{G}\emptyset f.d\lambda$
,
$(\phi\in B(G), f$
.
$\in L^{1}(G))$
.
With pointwise
nlultiplication
and the
dual
nornl.
$B(G)$
is
a
comnlutative
Banach
algebla
called the Fourier-Stieltjes
$algeb\gamma\cdot a$
of
$G$
.
The
$F_{\mathit{0}urie}7^{\cdot}$
algebra
$A(G)$
of
$G$
is the closed
lineal
$\cdot$span
of
$P(G)\cap c_{00}(c)$
in
$B(G)$
. When
$G$
is
abelian,
then
$A(G)\cong L^{1}(\hat{C_{\tau}})$
and
$B(G)\cong M(\hat{G})$
whele
$\hat{G}$is the dual
groul)
of
$G$
(see
[3]).
Let
$E$
be
a
Banach
space aud
$X$
be
a
weakly
colnpact
convex
subset
of
$E$
.
We
say
that
$X$
has’ the fpp
(
$=\mathrm{f}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{x}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{d}$point
$\mathrm{P}^{\mathrm{l}\mathrm{O}}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{C}1^{\cdot}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{y}$
)
if
$\mathrm{e}\mathrm{v}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{l}\cdot \mathrm{y}$nonexpansive nlappillg
$T:Xarrow X$
(
$\mathrm{i}.\mathrm{e}$.
$||Tx-Ty||\leq||x-y||$
for
evely
$x,$
$y\in X$
)
has
a
fixed
point.
The space
$X$
has
the fpp if
every
weakly
compact
convex
subset
$X\subseteq E$
has
$\mathrm{f}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p}$.
It
is well known that
$\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{w}\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{l}.’\mathrm{S}$
Theorem,
showed that
a
weakly
compact
convex
subset of
a
Banach
space
with
normal structure
has
$\mathrm{f}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p}$.
It
follows from
Alspach’s example
[1]
that
if
$G=(\mathbb{Z}, +)$
,
then
$A(\mathbb{Z})\cong L^{1}(\mathrm{T})$
(hence
$B(\mathbb{Z})$
)
does not
have
the
$\mathrm{f}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p}$,
where
$\mathbb{T}=\{\lambda\in \mathbb{C}, |\lambda|=1\}$
.
If
$E$
is
a
dual Banach
space,
$E$
is said to have
weak*
fpp
(
$=$
weak*
fixed
point
$pr\cdot operty)$
if for
evely
weak*-compact
convex
subset
$X$
of
$E$
has the
$\mathrm{f}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p}$.
It follows from
[11] that if
$G=\mathbb{T}$
,
then eacll
weak*-conlpact
convex
subset of
$B(\mathrm{T})=A(\mathrm{T})\cong l_{1}(\mathbb{Z})$
llas normal
$\mathrm{s}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{l}\cdot \mathrm{u}\mathrm{c}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}$.
In particular.
$B(\mathbb{T})$
has
weak*
$\mathrm{f}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p}$.
More
generally:
Theorem
5
([6]).
Let
$G$
be
a
locally
compact abelian
group.
The following
are
equivalent:
(a)
$G$
is compact
(b)
Each
weak*-compact
convex
subset
of
$B(G)$
has
$nor^{\sim}mal$
structure.
(c)
$B(G)$
has
$v$
)
$eak^{*}\mathrm{f}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p}$
.
Problem: Does
$B(G)$
has
weak*
$\mathrm{f}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p}$”
imply
“
$G$
is
$\mathrm{c}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{l}$
)
$\mathrm{a}\mathrm{c}\mathrm{t}’$?
In
general.
“
$B(G)$
has
$\mathrm{f}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p}$
’
does not
imply
$‘(G$
is
$\mathrm{C}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{P}^{\mathrm{a}}}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{t}’$’
Indeed,
if
$G$
is
the
Fell
group
(which
is the
natural semi-direct
product
of the
$p$
-adic nulnbers with the
compact
group
of
p–adic
units
for
a
fixed
$\mathrm{p}_{1}\cdot \mathrm{i}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{e}p$),
then
$G$
is
non-compact
but
$B(G)$
has fpp
as
shown
in
[7].
A locally
conlpact
group
$G$
is called
an
$[\mathrm{I}\mathrm{N}]- \mathrm{g}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{P}$if thele is
a
compact
neighborhood
$U$
of the
identity
$e$
such
that
$:r^{-1}\cup x=U$
for all
$x\in G$
.
This
includes all
groups
$G$
such that the left and right uniformities coincide.
Examples
of
$[\mathrm{I}\mathrm{N}]- \mathrm{g}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{P}^{\mathrm{S}}$include abelian
groups.
compact
groups
and discrete
groups.
Theorem
7 ([7]).
If
$\cdot$$G$
is
a
connected
$[\mathrm{I}\mathrm{N}]- group$
,
then
$G$
is compact
