On the number of fixed points for a continuous map of a finite connected graph.
The paper contains a survey of various results concerning the Schauder Fixed Point Theorem for metric spaces both in single-valued and multi-valued cases. A number of open problems is formulated.
For a compact connected semisimple Lie group we shall prove two results (both related with Singhof’s paper [13]) on the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of the adjoint orbits of , respectively the 1-dimensional relative category of a maximal torus in . The techniques will be classical, but we shall also apply some basic results concerning the so-called -category (cf. [14]).
Suppose a metrizable separable space Y is sigma hereditarily disconnected, i.e., it is a countable union of hereditarily disconnected subspaces. We prove that the countable power of any subspace X ⊂ Y is not universal for the class ₂ of absolute -sets; moreover, if Y is an absolute -set, then contains no closed topological copy of the Nagata space = W(I,ℙ); if Y is an absolute -set, then contains no closed copy of the Smirnov space σ = W(I,0). On the other hand, the countable power of...
An abstract version of the Lefschetz fixed point theorem is presented. Then several generalizations of the classical Lefschetz fixed point theorem are obtained.
We prove a “Tverberg type” multiple intersection theorem. It strengthens the prime case of the original Tverberg theorem from 1966, as well as the topological Tverberg theorem of Bárány et al. (1980), by adding color constraints. It also provides an improved bound for the (topological) colored Tverberg problem of Bárány & Larman (1992) that is tight in the prime case and asymptotically optimal in the general case. The proof is based on relative equivariant obstruction theory.
Let π: E → B be a fiber bundle with fiber having the mod 2 cohomology algebra of a real or a complex projective space and let π’: E’ → B be a vector bundle such that ℤ₂ acts fiber preserving and freely on E and E’-0, where 0 stands for the zero section of the bundle π’: E’ → B. For a fiber preserving ℤ₂-equivariant map f: E → E’, we estimate the cohomological dimension of the zero set . As an application, we also estimate the cohomological dimension of the ℤ₂-coincidence set of a fiber preserving...
