In [8,9], the authors developed a nice formula to compute the Nielsen number of a self-map on an infra-nilmanifold. For the case of nilmanifolds this formula was extended to $n$-valued maps in [4]. In this paper, we extend these results…

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…

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…

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 consider twisted conjugacy classes of continuous automorphisms $\varphi$ of a Lie group $G$. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition on $\varphi$ for its Reidemeister number, the number of twisted conjugacy classes, to be infinite…

Let $f_1,...,f_k:M\to N$ be maps between closed manifolds, $N(f_1,...,f_k)$ and $R(f_1,...,f_k)$ be the Nielsen and the Reideimeister coincidence numbers respectively. In this note, we relate $R(f_1,...,f_k)$ with…

A classical result by K.B. Lee states that every group morphism between almost crystallographic groups is induced by an affine map on the nilpotent Lie group whereon these groups by definition act. It is the main technique for studying…

Let $N$ be a finitely generated nilpotent group. Algorithm is constructed such, that for every automorphism $\phi \in Aut(N)$ defines the Reidemeister number $R(\phi).$ It is proved that any free nilpotent group of rank $r = 2$ or $r = 3$…

Reidemeister numbers of group automorphisms encode the number of twisted conjugacy classes of groups and might yield information about self-maps of spaces related to the given objects. Here we address a question posed by Gon\c{c}alves and…

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 this paper, we explore the fixed point theory of $n$-valued maps using configuration spaces and braid groups, focussing on two fundamental problems, the Wecken property, and the computation of the Nielsen number. We show that the…

We give some examples of non-complete invariant affine connections on nilpotent and filiform Lie groups. This permits to describe non-nilpotent faithful representations on the model of filiform n-dimensional Lie algebras and, in particular,…

Until now only for special classes of infra-solvmanifolds, namely infra-nilmanifolds and infra-solvmanifolds of type (R), there was a formula available for computing the Nielsen number of a self-map on those manifolds. In this paper, we…

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…

Let S be a finite generating set of a torsion-free, nilpotent group G. We show that every automorphism of the Cayley graph Cay(G;S) is affine. (That is, every automorphism of the graph is obtained by composing a group automorphism with…

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…

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra of rank $N$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. Associated to $\mathcal{L}$ is a family of polynomial folding maps…

In this paper we study 2-valued non-split maps, focusing on the Klein bottle. We establish a connection between a 2-valued non-split map $\phi:X\multimap Y$ and a pair of classes of maps $([f],[f\circ \delta])\in [\tilde X,Y]\times[\tilde…

There currently exists no algebraic algorithm for computing twisted conjugacy classes in free groups. We propose a new technique for deciding twisted conjugacy relations using nilpotent quotients. Our technique is generalization of the…

In this paper we study the Reidemeister spectrum of 2-step nilpotent groups associated to graphs. We develop three methods, based on the structure of the graph, that can be used to determine the Reidemeister spectrum of the associated group…
