Abstract

Every nonexpansive selfmap of a nonempty closed bounded convex subset of a real reflexive Banach space has a fixed point. This resolves the reflexive-space fixed point problem for the given norm.

Formalization

  • OpenAI, Nonexpansive fixed points in reflexive Banach spaces: Lean scope notes (lean/docs/328.md, family 328, 6 October 2026 release). The release's scope note says the formalized original-norm fixed-point theorem covers the zero space and nonseparable real reflexive Banach spaces, assumes neither uniform convexity, normal structure nor weak continuity, and links the comparator statement. [AI-generated per source] [family-level]
  • OpenAI, ReflexiveFixedPoints.lean (openai/math comparator challenge, 2026-10). The comparator file states exists_fixedPoint_of_canonicallyReflexive for complete real normed spaces with CanonicallyReflexive X; the file gives the statement only, with the proof left as sorry.
  • anxkhn, Add nonexpansive fixed points in reflexive Banach spaces (google-deepmind/formal-conjectures issue #6984, 2026-10-08). This issue proposes adding Theorem 1.1 to formal-conjectures as a statement only, with reflexivity expressed as surjectivity of the canonical map into the continuous bidual.
  • anxkhn, feat(Paper): add reflexive nonexpansive fixed points (google-deepmind/formal-conjectures PR #6989, opened 2026-10-08, open at time of collection). This PR adds the Lean statement of Theorem 1.1 without a formal_proof attribute; in the review thread (mo271, anxkhn) reviewers discuss whether formal-conjectures should add problems the release reports as solved, and one reviewer approved the statement as matching the manuscript.

Family 328: Nonexpansive fixed points in reflexive Banach spaces

Resolves Kirk's reflexive-space fixed-point problem: every nonexpansive selfmap of a nonempty closed bounded convex subset of a real reflexive Banach space has a fixed point. The result uses the original norm, without assuming uniform convexity.

This is the only paper in this family.
