Around the nonlinear Ryll-Nardzewski theorem

Suppose that $Q$ is a weak$^{\ast }$ compact convex subset of a dual Banach space with the Radon-Nikodým property. We show that if $(S,Q)$ is a nonexpansive and norm-distal dynamical system, then there is a fixed point of $S$ in $Q$ and the set of fixed points is a nonexpansive retract of $Q.$ As a consequence we obtain a nonlinear extension of the Bader-Gelander-Monod theorem concerning isometries in $L$-embedded Banach spaces. A similar statement is proved for weakly compact convex subsets of a locally convex space, thus giving the nonlinear counterpart of the Ryll-Nardzewski theorem.
