REVISITING CAUTY’S PROOF OF THE SCHAUDER CONJECTURE TADEUSZ DOBROWOLSKI Received 18 April 2002 The Schauder conjecture that every compact convex subset of a metric linear space has the fixed-point property was recently established by Cauty (2001). This paper elaborates on Cauty’s proof in order to make it more detailed and there- fore more accessible. Such a detailed analysis allows us to show that the convex compacta in metric linear spaces possess the simplicial approximation property introduced by Kalton, Peck, and Roberts. The latter demonstrates that the orig- inal Schauder appr
