On the Brouwer fixed point theorem

Abstract We discuss a conjecture on homology of sphere bundles over manifolds which implies a generalization of the Brouwer fixed point theorem for Borsuk continuous multivalued mappings taking values which are one point sets or sets homeomorphic to Euclidean spheres.
