Given two fiberwise maps f1, f2 between smooth fiber bundles over a base manifold B, we develop techniques for calculating their Nielsen coincidence number. In certain settings we can describe the Reidemeister set of (f1,f2) as the orbit…
We generalise Nielsen theory to coincidences of pairs $(f,g)$ where $f:X\multimap Y$ is $n$-valued multimap and $g:X\to Y$ is a single-valued map, for $X$ and $Y$ closed oriented triangulable manifolds of equal dimension. We prove a Wecken…
For an $n$-valued self-map $f$ of a closed manifold $X$, we prove an averaging formula for the Reidemeister trace of $f$ in terms of the Reidemeister coincidence traces of single-valued maps between finite orientable covering spaces of $X$.…
We discuss coincidences of pairs (f_1, f_2) of maps between manifolds. We recall briefly the definition of four types of Nielsen numbers which arise naturally from the geometry of generic coincidences. They are lower bounds for the minimum…
We derive a formula for the Nielsen number $N(f)$ for every $n$-valued self-map $f$ of an infra-solvmanifold. To do this, we express $N(f)$ in terms of Nielsen coincidence numbers of single-valued maps on solvmanifolds, and derive a formula…
In classical fixed point and coincidence theory the notion of Nielsen numbers has proved to be extremely fruitful. Here we extend it to pairs (f_1, f_2) of maps between manifolds of arbitrary dimensions. This leads to estimates of the…
Given two maps f_1, f_2 : M^m \longrightarrow N^n between manifolds of the indicated arbitrary dimensions, when can they be deformed away from one another? More generally: what is the minimum number MCC (f_1, f_2) of pathcomponents of the…
Let $ f_1, f_2 \colon X^m \longrightarrow Y^n $ be maps between smooth connected manifolds of the indicated dimensions $ \!m\! $ and $ \!n \!\!\!$. Can $ f_1, f_2 $ be deformed by homotopies until they are coincidence free (i.e. $ f_1(x)…
As the title suggests, this paper gives a Nielsen theory of coincidences of iterates of two self maps f, g of a closed manifold. The ideas is, as much as possible, to generalize Nielsen type periodic point theory, but there are many…
Given two maps between smooth manifolds, the obstruction to removing their coincidences (via homotopies) is measured by minimum numbers. In order to determine them we introduce and study an infinite hierarchy of Nielsen numbers N_i, i = 0,…
Let $f_1,..., f_k:X\to N$ be maps from a complex $X$ to a compact manifold $N$, $k\ge 2$. In previous works \cite{BLM,MS}, a Lefschetz type theorem was established so that the non-vanishing of a Lefschetz type coincidence class…
A nilmanifold is a quotient N\G of a connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group G by a uniform lattice N. In this paper we determine the Reidemeister and Nielsen number of affine n-valued maps on such a nilmanifold. These are maps…
We consider pairs of maps $(f,g)$, where $f$ is an $n$-valued map and $g$ is an $m$-valued map, defined on connected finite polyhedra. A point $x$ such that $f(x)\cap g(x)\neq \emptyset$ is called a coincidence point of $f$ and $g$. A…
In the setting of continuous maps between compact orientable manifolds of the same dimension, there is a well known averaging formula for the coincidence Lefschetz number in terms of the Lefschetz numbers of lifts to some finite covering…
Let M to B, N to B be fibrations and f1,f2 :M to N be a pair of fibre-preserving maps. Using normal bordism techniques we define an invariant which is an obstruction to deforming the pair f1,f2 over B to a coincidence free pair of maps.In…
In classical fixed point and coincidence theory the notion of Nielsen numbers has proved to be extremely fruitful. We extend it to pairs (f_1,f_2) of maps between manifolds of arbitrary dimensions, using nonstabilized normal bordism theory…
Let $f,g:X\to Y$ be maps from a compact infra-nilmanifold $X$ to a compact nilmanifold $Y$ with $\dim X\ge \dim Y$. In this note, we show that a certain Wecken type property holds, i.e., if the Nielsen number $N(f,g)$ vanishes then $f$ and…
We extend the Nielsen theory of coincidence sets to equalizer sets, the points where a given set of (more than 2) mappings agree. On manifolds, this theory is interesting only for maps between spaces of different dimension, and our results…
Given two maps f1 and f2 from the sphere Sm to an n-manifold N, when are they loose, i.e. when can they be deformed away from one another? We study the geometry of their (generic) coincidence locus and its Nielsen decomposition. On the one…
Minimum numbers measure the obstruction to removing coincidences of two given maps (between smooth manifolds M and N of dimensions m and n, resp.). In this paper we compare them to four distinct types of Nielsen numbers. These agree with…
