Jiang-type theorems for coincidences of maps into homogeneous spaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let f,g:XoG/K be maps from a closed connected orientable manifold X to an orientable coset space M=G/K where G is a compact connected Lie group, K a closed subgroup and dimX=dimM. In this paper, we show that if L(f,g)=0 then N(f,g)=0; if L(f,g)e0 then N(f,g)=R(f,g) where L(f,g),N(f,g), and R(f,g) denote the Lefschetz, Nielsen, and Reidemeister coincidence numbers of f and g, respectively. When dimX>dimM, we give conditions under which N(f,g)=0 implies f and g are deformable to be coincidence free.


In classical Nielsen fixed point theory, the Nielsen number \(N(f)\) of a self map \(f:X\to X\) is either zero or is equal to the Reidemeister number \(R(f)\) if the so-called Jiang condition is satisfied. For coincidences one can say that a space \(M\) is of Jiang-type for coincidences if for any space \(X\) and any maps \(f,\,g:X\to M\) we have \(L(f,\,g)=0\) implies \(N(f,\,g)=0\) or \(L(f,\,g)\neq 0\) implies \(N(f,\,g)=R(f,\,g)\), where \(L(f,\,g)\), \(N(f,\,g)\) and \(R(f,\,g)\) denote the Lefschetz, Nielsen and Reidemeister coincidence numbers. Evidently, Jiang spaces are of Jiang-type for coincidences. Recently, some other examples have been discovered (for example, compact nilmanifolds). The main purpose of this paper is to show that orientable coset spaces are of Jiang-type for coincidences. The authors also investigate certain situations when the dimension of the domain space is greater than that of the target space.
