Fixed points of log-linear discrete dynamics.
For a class of quadratic polynomial endomorphisms close to the standard torus map , we show that the Julia set J(f) is homeomorphic to the torus. We identify J(f) as the closure ℛ of the set of repelling periodic points and as the Shilov boundary of the set K(f) of points with bounded forward orbit. Moreover, it turns out that (J(f),f) is a mixing repeller and supports a measure of maximal entropy for f which is uniquely determined as the harmonic measure for K(f).
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.
The problem of description of the set Per(f) of all minimal periods of a self-map f:X → X is studied. If X is a rational exterior space (e.g. a compact Lie group) then there exists a description of the set of minimal periods analogous to that for a torus map given by Jiang and Llibre. Our approach is based on the Haibao formula for the Lefschetz number of a self-map of a rational exterior space.
Let f be a smooth self-map of m-dimensional, m ≥ 4, smooth closed connected and simply-connected manifold, r a fixed natural number. For the class of maps with periodic sequence of Lefschetz numbers of iterations the authors introduced in [Graff G., Kaczkowska A., Reducing the number of periodic points in smooth homotopy class of self-maps of simply-connected manifolds with periodic sequence of Lefschetz numbers, Ann. Polon. Math. (in press)] the topological invariant J[f] which is equal to the...
We describe a connection between Nielsen fixed point theory and symplectic Floer homology for surfaces. A new asymptotic invariant of symplectic origin is defined.
We show that the Nielsen number is a knot invariant via representation variety.
