On the Uniqueness of the Topological Degree.
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.
