An averaging formula for Nielsen numbers on infra-solvmanifolds

Lefschetz and Nielsen Coincidence Numbers on Nilmanifolds and Solvmanifolds

Suppose M 1 ; M 2 are compact, connected orientable manifolds of the same dimension. Then for all pairs of maps f,g:M 1 ?! M 2 , the Nielsen coincidence number N(f,g) and the Lefschetz coincidence number L(f,g) are measures of the number of coincidences of f and g: points x 2 M 1 with f(x) = g(x). A manifold is a nilmanifold (solvmanifold) if it is a homogeneous space of a nilpotent (solvable) ...

Lefschetz and Nielsen Coincidence Numbers on Nilmanifolds and Solvmanifolds, Ii

In 10], it was claimed that Nielsen coincidence numbers and Lefschetz coincidence numbers are related by the inequality N (f; g) jL(f; g)j for all maps f; g : S 1 ! S 2 between compact orientable solvmanifolds of the same dimension. It was further claimed that N (f; g) = jL(f; g)j when S 2 is a nilmanifold. A mistake in that paper has been discovered. In this paper, that mistake is partially re...

Estimating Nielsen Numbers on Infrasolvmanifolds

A well-known lower bound for the number of xed points of a self-map f : X ?! X is the Nielsen number N(f). Unfortunately, the Nielsen number is diicult to calculate. The Lefschetz number L(f), on the other hand, is readily computable, but does not give a lower bound for the number of xed points. In this paper, we investigate conditions on the space X which guarantee either N(f) = jL(f)j or N(f)...

Higher-order Nielsen Numbers

Suppose X , Y are manifolds, f ,g : X → Y are maps. The well-known coincidence problem studies the coincidence set C = {x : f (x) = g(x)}. The number m= dimX −dimY is called the codimension of the problem. More general is the preimage problem. For a map f : X → Z and a submanifold Y of Z, it studies the preimage set C = {x : f (x) ∈ Y}, and the codimension is m = dimX + dimY − dimZ. In case of ...
