The Reidemeister spectrum of finite abelian groups

Abstract

For a finite abelian group AA, the Reidemeister number of an endomorphism φ\varphi equals the size of Fix(φ)\mathrm{Fix}(\varphi), the set of fixed points of φ\varphi. Consequently, the Reidemeister spectrum of AA is a subset of the set of divisors of A|A|. We fully determine the Reidemeister spectrum of A|A|, that is, which divisors of A|A| occur as the Reidemeister number of an automorphism. To do so, we discuss and prove a more general result providing upper and lower bounds on the number of fixed points of automorphisms related to a given automorphism φ\varphi.
