Fixed point property and interval topology












2












$begingroup$


Given a poset $(P,leq)$ the interval topology $tau_i(P)$ on $P$ is generated by
$${Psetminusdownarrow x : xin P} cup {Psetminusuparrow x : xin P},$$
where $downarrow x = {yin P: yleq x}$ and $uparrow x = {yin P: ygeq x}$.



We say that a poset $(P,leq)$ has the fixed point property (FPP) if for every order-preserving map $f:Pto P$ there is $xin P$ such that $f(x) = x$.



Question. If $(P,leq)$ has the (FPP), does every continuous map from the topological space $(P,tau_i(P))$ to itself have a fixed point?

    How about total order on two elements?

Consider a totally ordered set $P$ on two elements $x<y$. Clearly it has the FPP. The interval topology on $P$ is discrete, so the map swapping $x$ with $y$ is continuous, but has no fixed point.
