Formulas for the Reidemeister, Lefschetz and Nielsen coincidence number of maps between infra-nilmanifolds (Q368401)

The Lefschetz, Nielsen and Reidemeister coincidence number of maps, which are listed in the title of the paper under review, are crucial invariants in Nielsen coincidence theory. The computation of these invariants is not an easy task, especially for the last two. The main results of this paper are explicit formulae of these three invariants for maps between infra-nilmanifolds with equal dimensions. An infra-nilmanifold is always finitely covered by a nilmanifold. The main tool are so-called averaging formulae, saying that for two given maps \(f,g: M\to N\) between infra-nilmanifolds \(M\) and \(N\) with equal dimensions, their Lefschtz coincidence number is a kind of ``average'' of the Lefschetz coincidence numbers of lifts of \(f\) and \(g\) to finite-sheeted covering nilmanifolds. So are the other two invariants. It should be mentioned that the averaging formula for the Reidemeister coincidence number is actually new. The averaging formula for the Lefschetz coincidence number was known in a more general setting, see \textit{C. K. McCord} [Pac. J. Math. 154, No. 2, 345--368 (1992; Zbl 0766.55002)]. But, the proof here is more straightforward. A corresponding formula for the Nielsen coincidence number was given in [\textit{S. W. Kim} and \textit{J. B. Lee}, Nagoya Math. J. 186, 69--93 (2007; Zbl 1129.55002)].
