A combinatorial Lefschetz fixed point formula

We define a class of simplicial maps — those which are “expanding directions preserving” — from a barycentric subdivision to the original simplicial complex. These maps naturally induce a self map on the links of their fixed points. The local index at a fixed point of such a map turns out to be the Lefschetz number of the induced map on the link of the fixed point in relative homology. We also show that a weakly hyperbolic [4] simplicial map sdⁿK →K is expanding directions preserving.     

Holomorphic Lefschetz Fixed Point Formula for Non-compact K¨ahler Manifolds

The authors obtain a holomorphic Lefschetz fixed point formula for certain non-compact “hyperbolic” Kǎihler manifolds （e.g. Kǎihler hyperbolic manifolds, bounded domains of holomorphy） by using the Bergman kernel. This result generalizes the early work of Donnelly and Fefferman.     

Lefschetz fixed point theory on fibrations

For a fibre preserving map ϕ: E → E on a fibration (E, π, B), we construct a grading preserving map T(ϕ, π) between H*(E) and H*(B) that generalizes the Lefschetz number. If T(ϕ, π) is an isomorphism between H ⁰(E) and H ⁰(B), then π restricts to a surjective local diffeomorphism on each connected component of the fixed point set of ϕ under a transversality condition. This yields a characterization for the bundle H → G → G/H to be trivial when π ₁ (G/H) = 0.     

A fixed point formula of Lefschetz type in Arakelov geometry I: statement and proof

We consider arithmetic varieties endowed with an action of the group scheme of n-th roots of unity and we define equivariant arithmetic K ₀-theory for these varieties. We use the equivariant analytic torsion to define direct image maps in this context and we prove a Riemann-Roch theorem for the natural transformation of equivariant arithmetic K ₀-theory induced by the restriction to the fixed point scheme; this theorem can be viewed as an analog, in the context of Arakelov geometry, of the regular case of the theorem proved by P. Baum, W. Fulton and G. Quart in [BaFQ]. We show that it implies an equivariant refinement of the arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem, in a form conjectured by J.-M. Bismut (cf. [B2, Par. (l), p. 353] and also Ch. Soulé’s question in [SABK, 1.5, p. 162]). Oblatum 22-I-1999 & 20-II-2001?Published online: 4 May 2001     

Pure strategy Nash equilibrium points and the Lefschetz fixed point theorem

A pure strategy Nash equilibrium point existence theorem is established for a class ofn-person games with possibly nonacyclic (e.g. disconnected) strategy sets. The principal tool used in the proof is a Lefschetz fixed point theorem for multivalued maps, due to Eilenberg and Montgomery, which extends their better known. Eilenberg-Montgomery fixed point theorem (EMT) [Eilenberg/Montgomery, Theorem 1, p. 215] to nonacyclic spaces. Special cases of the existence theorem are also discussed.     

On fixed point sets and Lefschetz modules for sporadic simple groups

We consider 2-local geometries and other subgroup complexes for sporadic simple groups. For six groups, the fixed point set of a noncentral involution is shown to be equivariantly homotopy equivalent to a standard geometry for the component of the centralizer. For odd primes, fixed point sets are computed for sporadic groups having an extraspecial Sylow p-subgroup of order p³, acting on the complex of those p-radical subgroups containing a p-central element in their centers. Vertices for summands of the associated reduced Lefschetz modules are described.     

A generalization of the Lefschetz fixed point theorem and detection of chaos

We consider the problem of existence of fixed points of a continuous map in (possibly) noninvariant subsets. A pair of subsets of induces a map given by if and elsewhere. The following generalization of the Lefschetz fixed point theorem is proved: If is metrizable, and are compact ANRs, and is continuous, then has a fixed point in provided the Lefschetz number of is nonzero. Actually, we prove an extension of that theorem to the case of a composition of maps. We apply it to a result on the existence of an invariant set of a homeomorphism such that the dynamics restricted to that set is chaotic.

     

Asymptotic Lefschetz fixed point theory for ANES(compact) maps

A number of new Lefschetz fixed point theorems are established for ANES(compact) maps. Also compact absorbing contraction maps are discussed.      

A discrete Lefschetz formula

A Lefschetz formula is given that relates loops in a regular finite graph to traces of a certain representation. As an application the vanishing orders of the Ihara/Bass zeta function are expressed as dimensions of global section spaces of locally constant sheaves.     

Lefschetz fixed point theorems in generalized neighborhood extension spaces with respect to a map

We present several new Lefschetz fixed point results for compact self maps in new classes of spaces with respect to the map.     

A fixed point formula of Lefschetz type in Arakelov geometry III: representations of Chevalley schemes and heights of flag varieties

We give a new proof of the Jantzen sum formula for integral representations of Chevalley schemes over Spec Z, except for three exceptional cases. This is done by applying the fixed point formula of Lefschetz type in Arakelov geometry to generalized flag varieties. Our proof involves the computation of the equivariant Ray-Singer torsion for all equivariant bundles over complex homogeneous spaces. Furthermore, we find several explicit formulae for the global height of any generalized flag variety. Oblatum 17-VI-1999 & 10-IX-2001?Published online: 19 November 2001     

A higher rank Lefschetz formula

Since the early seventies flows with the Lefschetz property were studied by several authors. In this paper a Lefschetz formula is proved for the geodesic flow of a compact locally symmetric space. The flow is described in terms of actions of split tori of various dimensions and the geometric side of the Lefschetz formula is a sum over closed geodesics which correspond to a given torus. The cohomological side is given in terms of Lie algebra cohomology.     

A higher Lefschetz formula for flat bundles

In this paper, we prove a fixed point formula for flat bundles. To this end, we use cyclic cocycles which are constructed out of closed invariant currents. We show that such cyclic cocycles are equivariant with respect to isometric longitudinal actions of compact Lie groups. This enables us to prove fixed point formulae in the cyclic homology of the smooth convolution algebra of the foliation.

     

Holomorphic Lefschetz formula for manifolds with boundary

The classical Lefschetz fixed point formula expresses the number of fixed points of a continuous map f:MM in terms of the transformation induced by f on the cohomology of M. In 1966 Atiyah and Bott extended this formula to elliptic complexes over a compact closed manifold. In particular, they presented a holomorphic Lefschetz formula for compact complex manifolds without boundary, a result, in the framework of algebraic geometry due to Eichler (1957) for holomorphic curves. On compact complex manifolds with boundary the Dolbeault complex is not elliptic, hence the Atiyah-Bott theory is no longer applicable. To get rid of the difficulties related to the boundary behaviour of the Dolbeault cohomology, Donelli and Fefferman (1986) derived a fixed point formula for the Bergman metric. The purpose of this paper is to present a holomorphic Lefschetz formula on a strictly convex domain in ⁿ, n>1.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000):32S50; 58J20*Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the RFFI grant 02–01–00167.**Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the RFFI grant 02–01–00167.
