We present an unbiased theory of symmetric multicategories, where sequences are replaced by families. To be effective, this approach requires an explicit consideration of indexing and reindexing of objects and arrows, handled by the double…

Any maximal monotone operator can be characterized by a convex function. The family of such convex functions is invariant under a transformation connected with the Fenchel-Legendre conjugation. We prove that there exist a convex…

Both the Klein-Williams invariant $\ell_G(f)$ from \cite{KW2} and the generalized equivariant Lefschetz invariant $\lambda_G(f)$ from \cite{weber07} serve as complete obstructions to the fixed point problem in the equivariant setting. The…

A new category of algebro-geometric objects is defined. This construction is a vast generalization of existing F1-theories, as it contains the the theory of monoid schemes on the one hand and classical algebraic theory, e.g. Grothendieck…

In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for self-mappings defined on bipolar metric spaces using a new class of contractive conditions, namely polynomial-type contractions. Our main results establish…

We establish a fixed point theorem for mappings of square matrices of all sizes which respect the matrix sizes and direct sums of matrices. The conclusions are stronger if such a mapping also respects matrix similarities, i.e., is a…

This paper presents new approaches to the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings in L^1 spaces. While it is well-known that L^1 fails the fixed point property in general, we provide a complete and self-contained proof that…

The fixed-point index of a homeomorphism of Jordan curves measures the number of fixed-points, with multiplicity, of the extension of the homeomorphism to the full Jordan domains in question. The now-classical Circle Index Lemma says that…

We give a summary (without proofs) of the main results in the author's thesis entitled ``Construction of biclosed categories'' (University of New South Wales, Australia, 1970). This summary is reprinted directly from Report 81-0030 of the…

We consider some smooth maps on a bouquet of circles. For these maps we can compute the number of fixed points, the existence of periodic points and an exact formula for topological entropy. We use Lefschetz fixed point theory and actions…

We prove a fixpoint theorem for contractions on Cauchy-complete quantale-enriched categories. It holds for any quantale whose underlying lattice is continuous, and applies to contractions whose control function is sequentially…

We characterise the set of fixed points of a class of holomorphic maps on complex manifolds with a prescribed homology. Our main tool is the Lefschetz number and the action of maps on the first homology group.

We prove that if $F$ is a finitely generated abelian group of orientation preserving $C^1$ diffeomorphisms of $R^2$ which leaves invariant a compact set then there is a common fixed point for all elements of $F.$ We also show that if $F$ is…

A parametric version of Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem, which is proven using the fixed-point index, states that for every continuous mapping $f : (X \times Y) \to Y$, where $X$ is nonempty, compact, and connected subset of a Hausdorff…

In this article, we consider singular equivariant arithmetic schemes whose generic fibres are smooth. For such schemes, we prove a relative fixed point formula of Lefschetz type in the context of Arakelov geometry. This formula is an…

In this paper, we describe all traces for the BCH star-product on the dual of a Lie algebra. First we show by an elementary argument that the BCH as well as the Kontsevich star-product are strongly closed if and only if the Lie algebra is…

Fulton and MacPherson introduced the notion of bivariant theories and Grothendieck transformations related to Riemann-Roch-theorems. But there are many situations, where such a bivariant theory or a corresponding Grothendieck transformation…

We employ a certain labeled finite graph, called a chart, in a closed oriented surface for describing the monodromy of a(n achiral) Lefschetz fibration over the surface. Applying charts and their moves with respect to Wajnryb's presentation…

Using the concept of a twisted trace density on a cyclic groupoid, a trace is constructed on a formal deformation quantization of a symplectic orbifold. An algebraic index theorem for orbifolds follows as a consequence of a local…

This note is concerned with isometries on the spaces of self-adjoint traceless matrices. We compute the group of isometries with respect to any unitary similarity invariant norm. This completes and extends the result of Nagy on Schatten…
