Averaging formula for Nielsen coincidence numbers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 January 2016
Abstract
In this paper we study the averaging formula for Nielsen coincidence numbers of pairs of maps (f,g): M→N between closed smooth manifolds of the same dimension. Suppose that G is a normal subgroup of Π = π1(M) with finite index and H is a normal subgroup of Δ = π1(N) with finite index such that Then we investigate the conditions for which the following averaging formula holds
where is any pair of fixed liftings of (f, g). We prove that the averaging formula holds when M and N are orientable infra-nilmanifolds of the same dimension, and when M = N is a non-orientable infra-nilmanifold with holonomy group ℤ2 and (f, g) admits a pair of liftings on the nil-covering of M.
