The coincidence Nielsen number for covering maps for orientable manifolds (Q276122)

The author considers coincidence points of maps between closed orientable manifolds, and shows that the coincidence Nielsen number \(N(f,g)\) can be expressed as a linear combination of the coincidence Nielsen numbers of some lifts of the pair \((f,g)\) with respect to given finite-sheeted coverings. The coefficients come from the induced homomorphisms \(f_\pi\) and \(g_\pi\) on fundamental groups, and the groups determining the given coverings. A similar result in a little restricted situation was obtained by the author [Topology Appl. 157, No. 2, 417--438 (2010; Zbl 1182.55004)]. The result in the case of fixed points was given by \textit{J. Jezierski} [Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2006, Spec. Iss., Article 37807, 11 p. (2006; Zbl 1097.55002)], and can be traced back to \textit{B. Jiang}'s book [Lectures on Nielsen fixed point theory. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (1983; Zbl 0512.55003)], where this relation was written as pre-image of the fixed point class functor.
