Reducing the number of periodic points in the smooth homotopy class of a self-map of a simply-connected manifold with periodic sequence of Lefschetz numbers

Grzegorz Graff, Agnieszka Kaczkowska (2013)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Let f be a smooth self-map of an m-dimensional (m ≥ 4) closed connected and simply-connected manifold such that the sequence L ( f ) n = 1 of the Lefschetz numbers of its iterations is periodic. For a fixed natural r we wish to minimize, in the smooth homotopy class, the number of periodic points with periods less than or equal to r. The resulting number is given by a topological invariant J[f] which is defined in combinatorial terms and is constant for all sufficiently large r. We compute J[f] for self-maps...

Reedy categories which encode the notion of category actions

Julia E. Bergner, Philip Hackney (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study a certain type of action of categories on categories and on operads. Using the structure of the categories Δ and Ω governing category and operad structures, respectively, we define categories which instead encode the structure of a category acting on a category, or a category acting on an operad. We prove that the former has the structure of an elegant Reedy category, whereas the latter has the structure of a generalized Reedy category. In particular, this approach gives a new way to regard...

Refining thick subcategory theorems

Sunil K. Chebolu (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We use a K-theory recipe of Thomason to obtain classifications of triangulated subcategories via refining some standard thick subcategory theorems. We apply this recipe to the full subcategories of finite objects in the derived categories of rings and the stable homotopy category of spectra. This gives, in the derived categories, a complete classification of the triangulated subcategories of perfect complexes over some commutative rings. In the stable homotopy category of spectra we obtain only...

Reidemeister conjugacy for finitely generated free fundamental groups

Evelyn L. Hart (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X be a space with the homotopy type of a bouquet of k circles, and let f: X → X be a map. In certain cases, algebraic techniques can be used to calculate N(f), the Nielsen number of f, which is a homotopy invariant lower bound on the number of fixed points for maps homotopic to f. Given two fixed points of f, x and y, and their corresponding group elements, W x and W y , the fixed points are Nielsen equivalent if and only if there is a solution z ∈ π₁(X) to the equation z = W y - 1 f ( z ) W x . The Nielsen number is the...

Reidemeister orbit sets

Boju Jiang, Seoung Ho Lee, Moo Ha Woo (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The Reidemeister orbit set plays a crucial role in the Nielsen type theory of periodic orbits, much as the Reidemeister set does in Nielsen fixed point theory. Extending Ferrario's work on Reidemeister sets, we obtain algebraic results such as addition formulae for Reidemeister orbit sets. Similar formulae for Nielsen type essential orbit numbers are also proved for fibre preserving maps.
