We study the coincidence theory of maps between two manifolds of the same dimension from an axiomatic viewpoint. First we look at coincidences of maps between manifolds where one of the maps is orientation true, and give a set of axioms…

The main result of this paper is the following: if F is any field and R is any F-subalgebra of the algebra of nxn matrices over F with Lie nilpotence index m, then the F-dimension of R is less or equal than M(m+1,n), where M(m+1,n) is the…

We discuss the $2+1$ dimensional description of the $\Phi_{1,3}$ deformation of the minimal model $M_p$ leading to a transition $M_p \rightarrow M_{p-1}$. The deformation can be considered as an addition of the charged matter to the…

A Lefschetz-type coincidence theorem for two maps f,g:X->Y from an arbitrary topological space X to a manifold Y is given: I(f,g)=L(f,g), the coincidence index is equal to the Lefschetz number. It follows that if L(f,g) is not equal to zero…

Let $M^n\ (n\geq3)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold with $\sec_M\geq 1$, and let $M_i^{n_i}$ ($i=1,2$) be two comlplete totally geodesic submanifolds in $M$. We prove that if $n_1+n_2=n-2$ and if the distance $|M_1M_2|\geq\frac{\pi}{2}$,…

Let M and N be two closed (not necessarily orientable) surfaces, and f a continuous map from M to N. By definition, the minimal multiplicity MMR[f] of the map f denotes the minimal integer k having the following property: f can be deformed…

In this paper we consider two connected closed Haken manifolds denoted by M^3 and N^3, with the same Gromov simplicial volume. We give a simple homological criterion to decide when a given map f: M^3-->N^3 between M^3 and N^3 can be changed…

Given a proper map f : M $\rightarrow$ Q, having cell-like point-inverses, from a manifold-without-boundary M onto an ANR Q, it is a much-studied problem to find when f is approximable by homeomorphisms, i.e., when the decomposition of M…

We define twelve variants of a Reifenberg's affine approximation property, which are known to be connected with the singular sets of minimal surfaces. With this motivation we investigate the regularity of the sets possessing these. We…

Given a flat metric one may generate a local Hamiltonian structure via the fundamental result of Dubrovin and Novikov. More generally, a flat pencil of metrics will generate a local bi-Hamiltonian structure, and with additional…

We prove a converse to well-known results by E. Cartan and J. D. Moore. Let $f\colon M^n_c\to\Q^{n+p}_{\tilde c}$ be an isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature $c$ into a space form of curvature…

Let X be a very general complete intersection in complex projective space and we denote by $F_r(X)$ the variety of r-planes in X, for $r\geq 1$. We show that the Picard number of $F_r(X)$ is 1, as soon as $\dim F_r(X)\geq 2$, except when X…

The Nielsen number $N(f)$ is a lower bound for the minimal number of fixed points among maps homotopic to $f$. When these numbers are equal, the map is called Wecken. A recent paper by Brimley, Griisser, Miller, and the second author…

Bouvel and Pergola introduced the notion of minimal permutations in the study of the whole genome duplication-random loss model for genome rearrangements. Let $\mathcal{F}_d(n)$ denote the set of minimal permutations of length $n$ with $d$…

The definition of the intersection number of a map with a closed manifold can be extended to the case of a closed stratified set such that the difference between dimensions of its two biggest strata is greater than $1$. The set Sigma of…

Let $f:M^m\to N^n$ be a smooth map between two differential manifolds with $N$ connected, $f(M)$ closed and $f(M)\neq N$. In this short note, we show that either all the points of $M$ are critical points of $f$ or the dimension the…

The $\pi_2$-diffeomorphism finiteness result (\cite{FR1,2}, \cite{PT}) asserts that the diffeomorphic types of compact $n$-manifolds $M$ with vanishing first and second homotopy groups can be bounded above in terms of $n$, and upper bounds…

In this paper, we expand certain aspects of Nielsen periodic point theory from tori and nilmanifolds to infra-nilmanifolds. We show that infra-nilmanifolds are essentially reducible to the GCD and essentially toral. With these structural…

Suppose that $f$ is a homomorphism from the mapping class group $\mathcal{M}(N_{g,n})$ of a nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components, to $\mathrm{GL}(m,\mathbb{C})$. We prove that if $g\ge 5$, $n\le 1$ and $m\le g-2$,…

We investigate isometric immersions $f\colon M^n\to\R^{n+2}$, $n\geq 3$, of Riemannian manifolds into Euclidean space with codimension two that admit isometric deformations that preserve the metric of the Gauss map. In precise terms, the…
