Calculation of Nielsen periodic numbers on infra-nilmanifolds (Q2230904)

Let \(M\) be an infra-nilmanifold, \(f:M\to M\) a map, \(f_{*}\) the induced homomorphism on the fundamental group \(\pi_1(M)\) of \(M\), \(K\) a normal subgroup of \(\pi_1(M)\) with finite index such that \(f_{*}(K)\subset K\), \(M_{K}\) a regular covering of \(M\) which is a compact nil-manifold with \(\pi_1(K)=K\), \(NF_n(f^n)\) a lower bound for the number of periodic points of all periods \(m|n\) of \(f^n\) and \(N(f^n)\) the ordinary Nielsen number for \(f^n\). It is known that for weakly Jiang maps \(f\) on infra-nilmanifolds, the equality \(NF_n(f^n)=N(f^n)\) holds In this paper the author shows that for non-weakly Jiang maps \(f\) on infra-nilmanifolds \(M\) the equality \(NF_n(f^n)=N(f^n)\) is no longer true. In fact he shows that for any \(m\), \(f^m\) has lifts \(\bar{f}^{(m)}\) on \(M_{K}\) and he proves that the prime Nielsen-Jiang periodic \(NP_n(f)\) can be expressed by numbers \(N(\bar{f}^{(m)})\) with \(m|n\).
