Equivariant Nielsen Invariants for Discrete Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
For discrete groups G, we introduce equivariant Nielsen invariants. They are equivariant analogs of the Nielsen number and give lower bounds for the number of fixed point orbits in the G-homotopy class of an equivariant endomorphism f : X → X. Under mild hypotheses, these lower bounds are sharp. We use the equivariant Nielsen invariants to show that a G-equivariant endomorphism f is G-homotopic to a fixed point free G-map if the generalized equivariant Lefschetz invariant λG(f) is zero. Finally, we prove a converse of the equivariant Lefschetz fixed point theorem.

Invariants of Homogeneous Spaces
We derive a formula for the η-invariants of equivariant Dirac operators on quotients of compact Lie groups, and for their infinitesimally equivariant extensions. As an example, we give some computations for spheres. Quotients M = G/H of compact Lie groups provide many important examples of Riemannian manifolds with non-negative sectional curvature. The primary characteristic classes and numbers...
متن کاملGröbner Bases, Invariant Theory and Equivariant Dynamics
This paper is about algorithmic invariant theory as it is required within equivariant dynamical systems. The question of generic bifurcation equations (arbitrary equivariant polynomial vector) requires the knowledge of fundamental invariants and equivariants. We discuss computations which are related to this for finite groups and semi-simple Lie groups. We consider questions such as the complet...
متن کاملThe Homological Torsion of Psl2 of the Imaginary Quadratic Integers
The Bianchi groups are the groups (P)SL2 over a ring of integers in an imaginary quadratic number field. We reveal a correspondence between the homological torsion of the Bianchi groups and new geometric invariants, which are effectively computable thanks to their action on hyperbolic space. We expose a novel technique, the torsion subcomplex reduction, to obtain these invariants. We use it to ...
متن کاملBauer-Furuta invariants and Galois symmetries
The Bauer-Furuta invariants of smooth 4-manifolds are investigated from a functorial point of view. This leads to a definition of equivariant BauerFuruta invariants for compact Lie group actions. These are studied in Galois covering situations. We show that the ordinary invariants of all quotients are determined by the equivariant invariants of the covering manifold. In the case where the Bauer...
متن کاملA Geometric Description of Equivariant K-Homology for Proper Actions
LetG be a discrete group and letX be aG-finite, properG-CW-complex. We prove that Kasparov’s equivariant K-homology groups KK∗ (C0(X),C) are isomorphic to the geometric equivariant K-homology groups of X that are obtained by making the geometric K-homology theory of Baum and Douglas equivariant in the natural way. This reconciles the original and current formulations of the Baum-Connes conjectu...
