The equivariant Lefschetz fixed point theorem for proper cocompact G-manifolds

چکیده
Suppose one is given a discrete group G, a cocompact proper Gmanifold M , and a G-self-map f : M → M . Then we introduce the equivariant Lefschetz class of f , which is globally defined in terms of cellular chain complexes, and the local equivariant Lefschetz class of f , which is locally defined in terms of fixed point data. We prove the equivariant Lefschetz fixed point theorem, which says that these two classes agree. As a special case, we prove an equivariant Poincaré-Hopf Theorem, computing the universal equivariant Euler characteristic in terms of the zeros of an equivariant vector field, and also obtain an orbifold Lefschetz fixed point theorem. Finally, we prove a realization theorem for universal equivariant Euler characteristics.

The Universal Functorial Equivariant Lefschetz Invariant
We introduce the universal functorial equivariant Lefschetz invariant for endomorphisms of finite proper G-CW-complexes, where G is a discrete group. We use K0 of the category of “φ-endomorphisms of finitely generated free RΠ(G,X)-modules”. We derive results about fixed points of equivariant endomorphisms of cocompact proper smooth G-manifolds.
متن کاملEquivariant Lefschetz Maps for Simplicial Complexes and Smooth Manifolds
Let X be a locally compact space with a continuous proper action of a locally compact group G. Assuming that X satisfies a certain kind of duality in equivariant bivariant Kasparov theory, we can enrich the classical construction of Lefschetz numbers to equivariant K-homology classes. We compute the Lefschetz invariants for self-maps of finite-dimensional simplicial complexes and of self-maps o...
متن کاملRing structures of mod p equivariant cohomology rings and ring homomorphisms between them
In this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to Z/p) closed G-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is G-equivariantly formal, where G = Z/p and p is an odd prime. Using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a G-manifold in terms of algebra. This makes ...
متن کاملDuality, Correspondences and the Lefschetz Map in Equivariant Kk-theory: a Survey
We survey work by the author and Ralf Meyer on equivariant KKtheory. Duality plays a key role in our approach. We organize the survey around the objective of computing a certain homotopy-invariant of a space equipped with a proper action of a group or groupoid called the Lefschetz map. The latter associates an equivariant K-homology class to an equivariant Kasparov self-morphism of a space X ad...
متن کاملEquivariant Euler characteristics and K -homology Euler classes for proper cocompact G-manifolds
Let G be a countable discrete group and let M be a smooth proper cocompact G-manifold without boundary. The Euler operator defines via Kasparov theory an element, called the equivariant Euler class, in the equivariant KO -homology of M. The universal equivariant Euler characteristic of M, which lives in a group UG(M), counts the equivariant cells of M , taking the component structure of the var...
