Session 35. Topological fixed point theory and related topics

Minimal number of periodic points of smooth boundary-preserving self-maps of simply-connected manifolds

Grzegorz Graff, GdaƄsk University of Technology, Poland
The talk is based on the joint work with Jerzy Jezierski
Let \(M\) be a smooth compact connected and simply-connected manifold with simply-connected boundary \(\partial M\), \(r\) be a fixed odd natural number. We consider \(f\), a smooth self-maps of \(M\), preserving \(\partial M\). Under the assumption that the dimension of \(M\) is at least \(4\), we define the invariant \(D_r(f;M,\partial M)\) that is equal to the minimal number of \(r\)-periodic points for all maps preserving \(\partial M\) and smoothly homotopic to \(f\). We estimate the value of \(D_r(f;M,\partial M)\) for some values of \(r\).
