A fixed point theorem for plane continua

Abstract: ABSTRACT. In this paper it is proved that every bounded arcwise connected plane continuum which does not separate the plane has the fixed point property.A set X is said to have the fixed point property if each continuous function ƒ on X into itself leaves some point fixed (that is, there is a point x belonging to X such that f(x)=x).The problem "Must a bounded plane continuum which does not separate the plane have the fixed point property?" has motivated a great deal of research in plane topology.

“…Then Bell announced in 1982 (see also Akis [Aki99]) that the Cartwright-Littlewood Theorem can be extended to the class of all holomorphic maps of the plane. For other partial results in this direction see, e.g., [Ham51,Hag71,Bel79,Min90,Hag96,Min99].…”
