Lefschetz movable maps
In an attempt to improve the Lefschetz fixed point theorem we introduce the class of Lefschetz movable maps. These maps form a subclass of Borsuk's nearly extendable maps. Its members satisfy an extra condition concerning the behaviour of Lefschetz numbers of suitable approximations. They all have fixed points even though it might be impossible to compute their Lefschetz number. We establish many nice properties of the new class. For example, we study what types of domination preserves Lefschetz movability, conditions under which compositions and products retain this property, invariance with respect to shape, and characterization in terms of approximate resolutions. We also show that maps considered in Borsuk's generalization of the Lefschetz theorem are Lefschetz movable. The collections of spaces to which these techniques are applicable are enlarged to classes of regularly movable and homology and homotopy calm compacta.
