Ryll-Nardzewski fixed point theorem

Ryll-Nardzewski fixed point theorem

In functional analysis, the Ryll-Nardzewski fixed point theorem states that if E is a normed vector space and K is a nonempty convex subset of E which is compact under the weak topology, then every group (or equivalently: every semigroup) of affine isometries of K has at least one fixed point. (Here, a "fixed point" of a set of maps is a point that is a fixed point for each of the set's members.)

Applications

The Ryll-Nardzewski theorem yields the existence of a Haar measure on compact groups.
