Nielsen number of a covering map.
We give an outline of the Nielsen coincidence theory emphasizing differences between the oriented and non-oriented cases.
We give an algorithm to compute the coincidence Nielsen number N(f,g), introduced in [DJ], for pairs of maps into real projective spaces.
We define a relative coincidence Nielsen number for pairs of maps between manifolds, prove a Wecken type theorem for this invariant and give some formulae expressing by the ordinary Nielsen numbers.
We consider fibre bundle maps (...) where all spaces involved are smooth closed manifolds (with no orientability assumption). We find a necessary and sufficient condition for the formula |ind|(f,g:A) = |ind| (f̅,g̅: p(A)) |ind| to hold, where A stands for a Nielsen class of (f,g), b ∈ p(A) and |ind| denotes the coincidence semi-index from [DJ]. This formula enables us to derive a relation between the Nielsen numbers N(f,g), N(f̅,g̅) and .
We generalize the coincidence semi-index introduced in [D-J] to pairs of maps between topological manifolds. This permits extending the Nielsen theory to this class of maps.
We prove that a self-map f: M → M of a compact PL-manifold of dimension ≥ 3 is homotopic to a map with no periodic points of period n iff the Nielsen numbers for k dividing n all vanish. This generalizes the result from [Je] to dimension 3.
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.
Let f be a continuous self-map of a smooth compact connected and simply-connected manifold of dimension m ≥ 3 and r a fixed natural number. A topological invariant , introduced by the authors [Forum Math. 21 (2009)], is equal to the minimal number of r-periodic points for all smooth maps homotopic to f. In this paper we calculate for all self-maps of S³.
