A Nielsen theory for intersection numbers
نویسنده
چکیده
Nielsen theory, originally developed as a homotopy-theoretic approach to fixed point theory, has been translated and extended to various other problems, such as the study of periodic points, coincidence points and roots. In this paper, the techniques of Nielsen theory are applied to the study of intersections of maps. A Nielsen-type number, the Nielsen intersection number NI(f, g), is introduced, and shown to have many of the properties analogous to those of the Nielsen fixed point number. In particular, NI(f, g) gives a lower bound for the number of points of intersection for all maps homotopic to f and g.

“Topological” Formulation of Effective Vortex Strings
We present a “topological” formulation of arbitrarily shaped vortex strings in four dimensional field theory. By using a large Higgs mass expansion, we then evaluate the effective action of the closed Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortex string. It is shown that the effective action contains the Nambu-Goto term and an extrinsic curvature squared term with negative sign. We next evaluate the topologi...

X : f (x) = g(x)} is a compact subset of X\∂X. In case of codimension 0, the Nielsen number is the lower estimate of the number of points in this set. We suggest a generalization of the classical Nielsen theory for the coincidence and as well as the preimage problems in order to provide a framework for some recent Wecken type results for codimension 1. The Nielsen equivalence on the set of coin...
متن کاملNIELSEN NUMBERS OF n-VALUED FIBERMAPS
The Nielsen number for n-valued multimaps, defined by Schirmer, has been calculated only for the circle. A concept of n-valued fiber map on the total space of a fibration is introduced. A formula for the Nielsen numbers of n-valued fiber maps of fibrations over the circle reduces the calculation to the computation of Nielsen numbers of single-valued maps. If the fibration is orientable, the pro...
متن کاملTropical Intersection Theory from Toric Varieties
We apply ideas from intersection theory on toric varieties to tropical intersection theory. We introduce mixed Minkowski weights on toric varieties which interpolate between equivariant and ordinary Chow cohomology classes on complete toric varieties. These objects fit into the framework of tropical intersection theory developed by Allermann and Rau. Standard facts about intersection theory on ...
متن کاملPlanarity of Intersection Graph of submodules of a Module
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be an unitary $R$-module. The intersection graph of an $R$-module $M$, denoted by $Gamma(M)$, is a simple graph whose vertices are all non-trivial submodules of $M$ and two distinct vertices $N_1$ and $N_2$ are adjacent if and only if $N_1cap N_2neq 0$. In this article, we investigate the concept of a planar intersection graph and maximal subm...
