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?
 
We all know the definition of n-dimensional topological manifold uses open sets and homeomorphisms onto the image as open set in ##\mathbb R^n##. It should be possible to reformulate the definition of n-dimensional topological manifold using closed sets on the manifold's topology and on ##\mathbb R^n## ? I'm positive for this. Perhaps the definition of smooth manifold would be problematic, though.
