Higher-order Nielsen numbers.
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.
