AbstractWe present Heinz’ approach to Brouwer degree in a simpler, shorter and better motivated way. We link it to Kronecker index, use the language of differential forms at an elementary level, and prove the homotopy invariance using an unpublished result of Tartar.

The paper computes the Brouwer degree of some classes of homogeneous polynomials defined on quaternions and applies the results, together with a continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, to the existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions of a class of systems of quaternionic valued ordinary differential equations. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Topological degree and fixed point theories in differential and difference equations’.

A construction of equivariant maps based on factorization through symmetric powers of a faithful representation is presented together with several examples of related equivariant maps. Applications to differential equations are also discussed.

The topological solutions of the De Broglie–Bohm quantum mechanics are presented. Starting from the Schrödinger equation for one particle system and ϕ-mapping topological current theory, the trajectory of the particle is derived explicitly, and can be used as the world line of the particle. The world line is just at the zero point of the wave function and it is shown that the vorticity of the world line can be expressed by Hopf index and Brouwer degree. The evolution of the world line at the bifurcation point is given.
