Reducing the number of fixed points of some homeomorphisms on nonprime -manifolds
Fixed Point Theory and Applications volume 2006, Article number: 25897 (2006)
Abstract
We will consider the number of fixed points of homeomorphisms composed of finitely many slide homeomorphisms on closed oriented nonprime -manifolds. By isotoping such homeomorphisms, we try to reduce their fixed point numbers. The numbers obtained are determined by the intersection information of sliding spheres and sliding paths of the slide homeomorphisms involved.
