✦ Synopsis
In this paper we study the regularity of geodesic Ptolemy spaces and apply our findings to metric fixed point theory. It is an open question whether such spaces with a continuous midpoint map are CAT(0) spaces. We prove that if a certain uniform continuity is imposed on such a midpoint map then these spaces, if complete, are reflexive (that is, the intersection of decreasing families of bounded closed and convex subsets is nonempty) and that bounded sequences have unique asymptotic centers. These properties will then be applied to yield a series of fixed point results specific to CAT(0) spaces.

We present two examples of nice normal spaces X having the property that for some fixedpoint free homeomorphism on X its tech-Stone extension has a fixed point. One of the spaces presented here is locally countable, locally compact, separable, normal, countably paracompact and weakly zero-dimensiona
