A Nielsen theory for intersection numbers

Christopher McCord (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Nielsen theory, originally developed as a homotopy-theoretic approach to fixed point theory, has been translated and extended to various other problems, such as the study of periodic points, coincidence points and roots. In this paper, the techniques of Nielsen theory are applied to the study of intersections of maps. A Nielsen-type number, the Nielsen intersection number NI(f,g), is introduced, and shown to have many of the properties analogous to those of the Nielsen fixed point number. In particular,...

A Non-standard Version of the Borsuk-Ulam Theorem

Carlos Biasi, Denise de Mattos (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

E. Pannwitz showed in 1952 that for any n ≥ 2, there exist continuous maps φ:Sⁿ→ Sⁿ and f:Sⁿ→ ℝ² such that f(x) ≠ f(φ(x)) for any x∈ Sⁿ. We prove that, under certain conditions, given continuous maps ψ,φ:X→ X and f:X→ ℝ², although the existence of a point x∈ X such that f(ψ(x)) = f(φ(x)) cannot always be assured, it is possible to establish an interesting relation between the points f(φ ψ(x)), f(φ²(x)) and f(ψ²(x)) when f(φ(x)) ≠ f(ψ(x)) for any x∈ X, and a non-standard version of the Borsuk-Ulam...

A note on generalized equivariant homotopy groups

Marek Golasiński, Daciberg L. Gonçalves, Peter N. Wong (2009)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper, we generalize the equivariant homotopy groups or equivalently the Rhodes groups. We establish a short exact sequence relating the generalized Rhodes groups and the generalized Fox homotopy groups and we introduce Γ-Rhodes groups, where Γ admits a certain co-grouplike structure. Evaluation subgroups of Γ-Rhodes groups are discussed.

A note on the converse of the Lefschetz theorem for G-maps

M. Izydorek, A. Vidal (1993)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The purpose of this note is to prove the converse of the Lefschetz fixed point theorem (CLT) together with an equivariant version of the converse of the Lefschetz deformation theorem (CDT) in the category of finite G-simplicial complexes, where G is a finite group.

Algorithms for Nielsen type periodic numbers of maps with remnant on surfaces with boundary and on bouquets of circles I

Evelyn L. Hart, Philip R. Heath, Edward C. Keppelmann (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

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...

An infinitary version of Sperner's Lemma

Aarno Hohti (2006)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove an extension of the well-known combinatorial-topological lemma of E. Sperner to the case of infinite-dimensional cubes. It is obtained as a corollary to an infinitary extension of the Lebesgue Covering Dimension Theorem.

An Ulam stability result on quasi-b-metric-like spaces

Hamed H. Alsulami, Selma Gülyaz, Erdal Karapınar, İnci M. Erhan (2016)

Open Mathematics

In this paper a class of general type α-admissible contraction mappings on quasi-b-metric-like spaces are defined. Existence and uniqueness of fixed points for this class of mappings is discussed and the results are applied to Ulam stability problems. Various consequences of the main results are obtained and illustrative examples are presented.

Anosov theorem for coincidences on nilmanifolds

Seung Won Kim, Jong Bum Lee (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Suppose that L, L’ are simply connected nilpotent Lie groups such that the groups γ i ( L ) and γ i ( L ' ) in their lower central series have the same dimension. We show that the Nielsen and Lefschetz coincidence numbers of maps f,g: Γ∖L → Γ’∖L’ between nilmanifolds Γ∖L and Γ’∖L’ can be computed algebraically as follows: L(f,g) = det(G⁎ - F⁎), N(f,g) = |L(f,g)|, where F⁎, G⁎ are the matrices, with respect to any preferred bases on the uniform lattices Γ and Γ’, of the homomorphisms between the Lie algebras , ’ of...

Applications of Nielsen theory to dynamics

Boju Jiang (1999)

Banach Center Publications

In this talk, we shall look at the application of Nielsen theory to certain questions concerning the "homotopy minimum" or "homotopy stability" of periodic orbits under deformations of the dynamical system. These applications are mainly to the dynamics of surface homeomorphisms, where the geometry and algebra involved are both accessible.

Bitwisted Burnside-Frobenius theorem and Dehn conjugacy problem

Alexander Fel'shtyn (2009)

Banach Center Publications

It is proved for Abelian groups that the Reidemeister coincidence number of two endomorphisms ϕ and ψ is equal to the number of coincidence points of ϕ̂ and ψ̂ on the unitary dual, if the Reidemeister number is finite. An affirmative answer to the bitwisted Dehn conjugacy problem for almost polycyclic groups is obtained. Finally, we explain why the Reidemeister numbers are always infinite for injective endomorphisms of Baumslag-Solitar groups.
