A Banach space $X$ is said to have w-FPP (weak fixed point property) if for every non-empty, weakly compact and convex subset $K\subseteq X$; every non-expansing mapping $T:K\longmapsto K$ i.e.
$$\|Tx-Ty\|\leq \|x-y\|\quad\quad \forall\, x,y \in K$$
has a fixed point.
Recall that if $X$ has an unconditional basis $(e_i)$, the constant of unconditionality $\lambda$ is
\begin{align} \lambda:=&\sup\lbrace \|\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \epsilon_i\zeta_i e_i\| \;\; : \;\; \|\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \zeta_i e_i \|=1\, , \, \epsilon_i=\pm 1\rbrace \\ =& \sup\lbrace \|2P_F-I\|\;\;:\;\; F\subset\mathbb{N}\rbrace \end{align}
where $P_F$ are the standard projections onto a finite subset $F$.
Suppose $X$ has constant of unconditionality $\lambda$. Lin1 proved via ultraproduct constructions that if $\lambda<\frac{\sqrt{33}-3}{2}$ then $X$ has the w-FPP. This raises the question whether every Banach space with unconditional basis enjoys the w-FPP.
My questions are the following:
- Has this result been improved in any direction? For instance, with further assumptions can the bound be improved? Do you know any references?
- Are there any other approaches to tackle this problem?
Actually any reference or idea on how to proceed would help.
