A remark on fixed points of functors in topological categories

For a topological category over Set we prove that if a functor T: has a fixed cardinal (i.e. for each object K with card (UK)= we have card (UTK)), then T has a least fixed point, and if T has a successive pair of fixed cardinals and ⁺, then T has a greatest fixed point. This extends results of Adámek and Koubek.Partial financial support of the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic under Grant No. 201/93/0950 is gratefully acknowledged.
