Abstract: We give axioms which characterize the local Reidemeister trace for orientable differentiable manifolds. The local Reidemeister trace in fixed point theory is already known, and we provide both uniqueness and existence results for the local Reidemeister trace in coincidence theory.

Review text

The Reidemeister trace of a self-map was defined by Reidemeister himself, containing the information of the Lefschetz number and the Nielsen number. This paper deals with a kind of generalization: local Reidemeister trace in coincidence theory. Let \(f,g: X\to Y\) be two maps between manifolds, and let \(U\) be an open subset of \(M\). A local Reidemeister trace for \(f\) and \(g\) at \(U\) is an element in the free abelian group generated by ``double twisted conjugacy classes of \(\pi_1(N)\). Two elements \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) in \(\pi_1(N)\) are said to be double twisted conjugate if \(\alpha = f_\pi(\gamma^{-1})\beta g_\pi(\gamma)\) for some \(\gamma\in \pi_1(M)\). In this paper, the author illustrates the existence and uniqueness of the local Reidemeister trace subject to five axioms. Before this, axioms for the Lefschetz number were given by \textit{M. Arkowitz} and \textit{R. F. Brown} [Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2004, No. 1, 1--11 (2004; Zbl 1083.55001)]. A local fixed point theory can be found in the paper of \textit{E. Fadell} and \textit{S. Husseini} [Ill. J. Math. 25, 673--699 (1981; Zbl 0469.55004)].
