Topological methods in zero-sum Ramsey theory

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Sigma
A landmark result of Erdős, Ginzburg, and Ziv (EGZ) states that any sequence of $2n-1$ elements in ${\mathbb {Z}}/n$ contains a zero-sum subsequence of length n.

Maps on graphs can be deformed to be coincidence-free [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We give a construction to remove coincidence points of continuous maps on graphs (1-complexes) by changing the maps by homotopies. When the codomain is not homeomorphic to the circle, we show that any pair of maps can be changed by homotopies to be ...

Knaster's problem for $(Z_2)^k$-symmetric subsets of the sphere $S^{2^k-1}$

open access: yes, 2009
We prove a Knaster-type result for orbits of the group $(Z_2)^k$ in $S^{2^k-1}$, calculating the Euler class obstruction. Among the consequences are: a result about inscribing skew crosspolytopes in hypersurfaces in $\mathbb R^{2^k}$, and a result about ...

Twisted Burnside-Frobenius theory for endomorphisms of polycyclic groups

open access: yes, 2017
Let $R(\phi)$ be the number of $\phi$-conjugacy (or Reidemeister) classes of an endomorphism $\phi$ of a group $G$. We prove for several classes of groups (including polycyclic) that the number $R(\phi)$ is equal to the number of fixed points of the ...

Orbit spaces of free involutions on the product of two projective spaces

open access: yes, 2010
Let $X$ be a finitistic space having the mod 2 cohomology algebra of the product of two projective spaces. We study free involutions on $X$ and determine the possible mod 2 cohomology algebra of orbit space of any free involution, using the Leray ...

Minimizing coincidence numbers of maps into projective spaces

open access: yes, 2008
In this paper we continue to study (`strong') Nielsen coincidence numbers (which were introduced recently for pairs of maps between manifolds of arbitrary dimensions) and the corresponding minimum numbers of coincidence points and pathcomponents.

Localized intersection of currents and the Lefschetz coincidence point theorem

open access: yes, 2015
We introduce the notion of a Thom class of a current and define the localized intersection of currents. In particular we consider the situation where we have a smooth map of manifolds and study localized intersections of the source manifold and currents ...

Obstruction theory for coincidences of multiple maps

open access: yes, 2017
Let $f_1,..., f_k:X\to N$ be maps from a complex $X$ to a compact manifold $N$, $k\ge 2$. In previous works \cite{BLM,MS}, a Lefschetz type theorem was established so that the non-vanishing of a Lefschetz type coincidence class $L(f_1,...,f_k)$ implies ...
