In essence, this is the same problem as in “[The generalization of Brouwer's fixed point theorem?](https://mathoverflow.net/questions/59796/the-generalization-of-brouwers-fixed-point-theorem)”. But now I am determined to be careful. The main question is the following: Is there any generalization of Brouwer's fixed point theorem in terms of general topology? (That is, without triangulations, or vector spaces, or anything else). The question is a bit vague, but, I hope, it admits a precise answer. Now, I am trying my best to propose a candidate. Let $X$ be a contractible locally contractible Hausdorff second countable compact topological space. Let $f\colon X\to X$ be a continuous map. Has then $f$ a fixed point?
