Fixed point theory and the K-theoretic trace

Ross Geoghegan, Andrew Nicas (1999)

Banach Center Publications

The relationship between fixed point theory and K-theory is explained, both classical Nielsen theory (versus K 0 ) and 1-parameter fixed point theory (versus K 1 ). In particular, various zeta functions associated with suspension flows are shown to come in a natural way as “traces” of “torsions” of Whitehead and Reidemeister type.

Fixed point theory for homogeneous spaces, II

Peter Wong (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let G be a compact connected Lie group, K a closed subgroup and M = G/K the homogeneous space of right cosets. Suppose that M is orientable. We show that for any selfmap f: M → M, L(f) = 0 ⇒ N(f) = 0 and L(f) ≠ 0 ⇒ N(f) = R(f) where L(f), N(f), and R(f) denote the Lefschetz, Nielsen, and Reidemeister numbers of f, respectively. In particular, this implies that the Lefschetz number is a complete invariant, i.e., L(f) = 0 iff f is deformable to be fixed point free. This was previously known under...

Fixed points for positive permutation braids

Michał Misiurewicz, Ana Rodrigues (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Making use of the Nielsen fixed point theory, we study a conjugacy invariant of braids, which we call the level index function. We present a simple algorithm for computing it for positive permutation cyclic braids.

Fixed points of discrete nilpotent group actions on S 2

Suely Druck, Fuquan Fang, Sebastião Firmo (2002)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove that for each integer k 2 there is an open neighborhood 𝒱 k of the identity map of the 2-sphere S 2 , in C 1 topology such that: if G is a nilpotent subgroup of Diff 1 ( S 2 ) with length k of nilpotency, generated by elements in 𝒱 k , then the natural G -action on S 2 has nonempty fixed point set. Moreover, the G -action has at least two fixed points if the action has a finite nontrivial orbit.
