Two, more readily computable, equivariant Nielsen numbers II (Q2378286)

Nielsen fixed point theory deals with the fixed points of self maps, more generally the coincidence points of pairs of maps. After the work of \textit{E. Fadell} and \textit{P. Wong} [Pac. J. Math. 132, No.~2, 277--281 (1988; Zbl 0612.58007)] considering the fixed points of equivariant maps, many kinds of Nielsen type numbers were defined to estimate the number of fixed points and coincidence points, or their orbits under the action of the given group for equivariant maps. The author of this paper introduces several Nielsen type numbers for the coincidence points of equivariant maps, by using his framework about coincidence points of \(M\)-ad maps in part I of this paper [Topology Appl. 156, No.~2, 165--185 (2008; Zbl 1156.55006)]. Given a \(G\)-space \(X\), for each subgroup \(K\) we can consider the subspaces \(X^K = \{x\in X \mid G_x \geq K\}\), \(X_K = \{x\in X \mid G_x = K\}\), \(X^{(K)} = \{x \in X \mid (G_x)\supseteq (K)\}\) and \(X_{(K)} =\{x \in X \mid (G_x) = (K)\}\) etc., where \((K)\) is the conjugacy class of the subgroup \(K\) of \(G\), and \(G_x\) is the isotropy subgroup of \(G\) at \(x\). Thus, an equivariant map naturally gives rise to an \(M\)-ad map, where \(M\) can be regarded as the set of all subgroups of the action group, or the set of conjugacy classes of subgroups, with corresponding invariant subsets as mentioned above. The action group \(G\) in this paper is assumed to be finite, and therefore the index sets are all finite. Relations between the new and existing Nielsen type numbers are given. The author also shows some interesting connections with the Nielsen type numbers for periodic points, which were defined in a similar way as the new Nielsen type numbers in this paper.
