Averaging formulas for the Reidemeister trace, Lefschetz and Nielsen numbers of n-valued maps
摘要
For an n-valued self-map f of a closed manifold X, we prove an averaging formula for the Reidemeister trace of f in terms of the Reidemeister coincidence traces of single-valued maps between finite orientable covering spaces of X. We then derive analogous formulas for the Lefschetz and Nielsen numbers of f. In the special case where X is an infra-nilmanifold, we obtain explicit formulas for the Lefschetz and Nielsen numbers of any n-valued map on X.
