Fix-finite and fixed point free approximations of symmetric product maps
Let A, and be topological spaces and let , be continuous maps. For all self-maps , and such that and there exists a pushout map f defined on the pushout space . In [F] we proved a formula relating the generalized Lefschetz numbers of f, , and . We had to assume all the spaces involved were connected because in the original definition of the generalized Lefschetz number given by Husseini in [H] the space was assumed to be connected. So, to extend the result of [F] to the not...
Let M be a flat manifold. We say that M has the property if the Reidemeister number R(f) is infinite for every homeomorphism f: M → M. We investigate relations between the holonomy representation ρ of M and the property. When the holonomy group of M is solvable we show that if ρ has a unique ℝ-irreducible subrepresentation of odd degree then M has the property. This result is related to Conjecture 4.8 in [K. Dekimpe et al., Topol. Methods Nonlinear Anal. 34 (2009)].
We show that many generalisations of Borsuk-Ulam's theorem follow from an elementary result of homological algebra.
We generalize the Lefschetz coincidence theorem to non-oriented manifolds. We use (co-) homology groups with local coefficients. This generalization requires the assumption that one of the considered maps is orientation true.
For any two continuous maps , between two solvmanifolds of the same dimension satisfying the Mostow condition, we give a technique of computation of the Lefschetz coincidence number of , . This result is an extension of the result of Ha, Lee and Penninckx for completely solvable case.
