Computing the abelian heap of unpointed stable homotopy classes of maps

Similarity:

An algorithmic computation of the set of unpointed stable homotopy classes of equivariant fibrewise maps was described in a recent paper [4] of the author and his collaborators. In the present paper, we describe a simplification of this computation that uses an abelian heap structure on this set that was observed in another paper [5] of the author. A heap is essentially a group without a choice of its neutral element; in addition, we allow it to be empty.

Coincidence free pairs of maps

Ulrich Koschorke (2006)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

This paper centers around two basic problems of topological coincidence theory. First, try to measure (with the help of Nielsen and minimum numbers) how far a given pair of maps is from being loose, i.e. from being homotopic to a pair of coincidence free maps. Secondly, describe the set of loose pairs of homotopy classes. We give a brief (and necessarily very incomplete) survey of some old and new advances concerning the first problem. Then we attack the second problem mainly in the...
