Résumé

Our main result states that every fixed-point free continuous self-map of ${\mathbb R}^{n}$ is colorable. This result can be reformulated as follows: A continuous map $f: {\mathbb R}^{n}\to {\mathbb R}^{n}$ is fixed-point free iff $\widetilde f: \beta {\mathbb R}^{n}\to \beta {\mathbb R}^{n}$ is fixed-point free. We also obtain a generalization of this fact and present some examples
