İn compact metric space, we know that contractive mappings have a unique fixed point...And some book I see that $card{F}_{T}\le 1$...Why we use this notation ? İn my opinion we must use $card{F}_{T}=1$ ? Have you any suggestions ? Can you help me ?

Couple comments:

1. Try using the
Code:
\text{}
wrapper around things that want to look like regular text. So, for example, you'd type
Code:
\text{card} \, F_T \le 1
to obtain $\text{card} \, F_T \le 1$.

2. Second of all, could you please define this notation for us? I've never seen it before. Is it some sort of cardinality? And what is $F_T$? An operator? A contractive mapping?
 
A sphere as topological manifold can be defined by gluing together the boundary of two disk. Basically one starts assigning each disk the subspace topology from ##\mathbb R^2## and then taking the quotient topology obtained by gluing their boundaries. Starting from the above definition of 2-sphere as topological manifold, shows that it is homeomorphic to the "embedded" sphere understood as subset of ##\mathbb R^3## in the subspace topology.
