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…

For a based manifold (M,*), the question of whether the surjection Diff(M,*) \rightarrow \pi_0 Diff(M,*) admits a section is an example of a Nielsen realization problem. This question is related to a question about flat connections on…

We consider sufficient conditions of local removability of coincidences of maps f,g:N->M, where M,N are manifolds with dimensions dimN>dimM. The coincidence index is the only obstruction to the removability for maps with fibers either…

When can a map between manifolds be deformed away from itself? We describe a (normal bordism) obstruction which is often computable and in general much stronger than the classical primary obstruction in cohomology. In particular, it answers…

There are two algebraic lower bounds of the number of n-periodic points of a self-map f:M\to M of a compact smooth manifold of dimension at least 3 : NF_n(f)=min {#Fix(g^n) ;g\sim f; g continuous} and NJD_n(f)=min {#Fix}(g^n) ;g\sim f; g…

For M and N closed oriented connected smooth manifolds of the same dimension, we consider the mapping space Map(M,N;f) of continuous maps homotopic to f:M--> N.We show that the evaluation map from the space of maps to the manifold N induces…

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…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of the Nielsen numbers $\{N(f^k)\}$, the essential periodic orbits of $f$ and the homotopy minimal periods of $f$ by using the Nielsen theory of maps $f$ on infra-solvmanifolds of type $R$.…

Coincidences of maps between smooth manifolds are studied via a geometric approach which involves (nonstabilized) normal bordism theory and pathspaces.

We consider minimal maps $f:M\to N$ between Riemannian manifolds $(M,\mathrm{g}_M)$ and $(N,\mathrm{g}_N)$, where $M$ is compact and where the sectional curvatures satisfy $\sec_N\le \sigma\le \sec_M$ for some $\sigma>0$. Under certain…

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…

This paper centers around two basic problems of topological coincidence theory. First, try to measure (with help of Nielsen and minimum numbers) how far a given pair of maps is from being loose, i.e. from being homotopic to a pair of…

For a given pair of maps f,g:X->M from an arbitrary topological space to an n-manifold, the Lefschetz homomorphism is a certain graded homomorphism L:H(X)->H(M) of degree (-n). We prove a Lefschetz-type coincidence theorem: if the Lefschetz…

The fixed point index of topological fixed point theory is a well studied integer-valued algebraic invariant of a mapping which can be characterized by a small set of axioms. The coincidence index is an extension of the concept to…

In this article we studied Nielsen coincidence theory for maps between manifolds of same dimension without hypotheses on orientation. We use the definition of semi-index of a class, we review the definition of defective classes and study…

Basic examples show that coincidence theory is intimately related to central subjects of differential topology and homotopy theory such as Kervaire invariants and divisibility properties of Whitehead products and of Hopf invariants. We…

The problem on the minimal number (with respect to deformation) of intersection points of two closed curves on a surface is solved. Following the Nielsen approach, we define classes of intersection points and essential classes of…

In this paper we study variations of the Hopf theorem concerning continuous maps $f$ of a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ to $\mathbb{R}^n$. We investigate the case when $M$ is a closed convex $n$-dimensional surface and…

For discrete groups G, we introduce equivariant Nielsen invariants. They are equivariant analogs of the Nielsen number and give lower bounds for the number of fixed point orbits in the G-homotopy class of an equivariant endomorphism f:X->X.…

In this note we prove that if a closed monotone symplectic manifold $M$ of dimension $2n,$ satisfying a homological condition that holds in particular when the minimal Chern number is $N>n,$ admits a Hamiltonian pseudo-rotation, then the…
