On the uniqueness of the coincidence index on orientable differentiable manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
The fixed point index of topological fixed point theory is a well studied integer-valued algebraic invariant of a mapping which can be characterized by a small set of axioms. The coincidence index is an extension of the concept to topological (Nielsen) coincidence theory. We demonstrate that three natural axioms are sufficient to characterize the coincidence index in the setting of continuous mappings on oriented differentiable manifolds, the most common setting for Nielsen coincidence theory.

Axioms for a local Reidemeister trace in fixed point and coincidence theory on differentiable manifolds
We give axioms which characterize the local Reidemeister trace for orientable differentiable manifolds. The local Reidemeister trace in fixed point theory is already known, and we provide both uniqueness and existence results for the local Reidemeister trace in coincidence theory.
متن کاملLefschetz coincidence formula on non-orientable manifolds
We generalize the Lefschetz coincidence theorem to non-oriented manifolds. We use (co-) homology groups with local coefficients. This generalization requires the assumption that one of the considered maps is orientation true.
متن کاملExistence and uniqueness of common coupled fixed point results via auxiliary functions
The purpose of this paper is to establish some coupled coincidence point theorems for mappings having a mixed $g$-monotone property in partially ordered metric spaces. Also, we present a result on the existence and uniqueness of coupled common fixed points. The results presented in the paper generalize and extend several well-known results in the literature.
متن کاملTopology of surface diagrams of smooth 4-manifolds.
Surface diagrams are a new way to specify any smooth closed orientable 4-manifold by an orientable surface decorated with simple closed curves. These curves are cyclically indexed, and each curve has a unique transverse intersection with the next. The aim of this paper is to announce a uniqueness theorem for these objects (within a fixed homotopy class) that turns out to be similar to the Reide...
متن کاملSimple Neighborhoods
The purpose of this note is to state a collection of results, all related to questions of uniqueness of smooth neighborhoods of finite complexes as imbedded (nicely) in differentiable manifolds. The reported results will appear in subsequent papers, the first of which is [l ]. The approach taken is always via the theory of simple homotopy types (due to J. H. C. Whitehead), and the main theorem ...
