(6) 2:45 pm - 5:30 pm. I will speak for a short while about recent work and open problems in metric fixed point theory; including aspects of my Summer 2013 research project with Jared Burns and Jeromy Sivek, entitled:
"Fixed Point Free Nonexpansive Mappings on Weakly Compact, Convex Sets".

This will be followed by ample time for discussions between attendees/participants.
