Abstract
Recall that a Banach space X has the weak fixed point property if for any nonempty weakly compact subset C of X and any nonexpansive mapping T : C→ C, T has at least one fixed point. In this article, we present three recent results using the ultraproduct technique. We also provide some open problems in this area.
