Non-affine $n$-valued maps on tori

Algebraic Topology 2026-03-05 v2

Abstract

In this paper we construct nn-valued maps on kk-dimensional tori, where n,k2n,k\geq 2, that are not homotopic to affine nn-valued maps. This is in high contrast with the single valued case, where any such map is homotopic to an affine (even linear) map. We do this by investigating necessary and sufficient algebraic conditions on certain induced morphisms.
