The following two homotopic notions are important in many domains of differential geometry: - homotopic homomorphisms between principal bundles (and between other objects), - homotopic subbundles. They play a role, for example, in many fundamental problems of characteristic classes. It turns out that both these notions can be - in a natural way - expressed in the language of Lie algebroids. Moreover, the characteristic homomorphisms of principal bundles (the Chern-Weil homomorphism [K4], or the...
In this paper and its sequel we present a method that, under loose restrictions, is algorithmic for calculating the Nielsen type numbers NΦₙ(f) and NPₙ(f) of self maps f of hyperbolic surfaces with boundary and also of bouquets of circles. Because self maps of these surfaces have the same homotopy type as maps on wedges of circles, and the Nielsen periodic numbers are homotopy type invariant, we need concentrate only on the latter spaces. Of course the results will then automatically apply...
We prove a fixed point theorem for Borsuk continuous mappings with spherical values, which extends a previous result. We apply some nonstandard properties of the Stiefel-Whitney classes.
In this note we give an approach to shape covering maps which is comparable to that of *-fibrations (Mardesic and Rushing (1978)). The introduced notion conserves some important properties of usual covering maps.
