Let (Omega, Sigma, mu) be a sigma-finite measure space and consider the Lebesgue function space L-1(mu) endowed with its standard norm. We obtain a characterization of weak compactness for closed bounded convex subsets of L-1(mu) in terms of the existence of fixed points for certain classes of eventually affine, uniformly Lipschitzian mappings.
