AbstractGiven a group, it is a basic problem to determine which manifolds can occur as a fixed-point set of a smooth action of this group on a sphere. The current article answers this problem for a family of finite groups including perfect groups and nilpotent Oliver groups. We obtain the answer as an application of a new deleting and inserting theorem which is formulated to delete (or insert) fixed-point sets from (or to) disks with smooth actions of finite groups. One of the keys to the proof is an equivariant interpretation of the surgery theory of S. E. Cappell and J. L. Shaneson, for obtaining homology equivalences.

<p>In this paper, we examine some properties of the fixed point set of a digitally continuous function. The digital setting requires new methods that are not analogous to those of classical topological fixed point theory, and we obtain results that often differ greatly from standard results in classical topology.</p><p>We introduce several measures related to fixed points for continuous self-maps on digital images, and study their properties. Perhaps the most important of these is the fixed point spectrum F(X) of a digital image: that is, the set of all numbers that can appear as the number of fixed points for some continuous self-map. We give a complete computation of F(C<sub>n</sub>) where C<sub>n</sub> is the digital cycle of n points. For other digital images, we show that, if X has at least 4 points, then F(X) always contains the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and the cardinality of X. We give several examples, including C<sub>n</sub>, in which F(X) does not equal {0, 1, . . . , #X}.</p><p>We examine how fixed point sets are affected by rigidity, retraction, deformation retraction, and the formation of wedges and Cartesian products. We also study how fixed point sets in digital images can be arranged; e.g., for some digital images the fixed point set is always connected.</p>

AbstractA link L in S3 possibly admits an involution of the exterior E(L) with fixed point set a closed surface, which is not extendable to an involution of S3. In this paper, we focus on the case of graph links and show that the genus of the surface provides a lower estimate of the number of link components.

A space Z is said to have the complete invariance property (CIP) provided that every nonempty closed subset of Z is the fixed point set of some continuous self-mapping of Z. In this paper it is shown that there exists a one-dimensional contractible planar continuum having CIP whose wedge with itself at a specified point is contractible, planar, and does not have CIP.

All spaces considered in this paper will be metric spaces. A subset A of a space X is called a fixed point set of X if there is a map (i.e., continuous function) ƒ: X → X such that ƒ(x) = x if and only if x ∈ A. In [22] L. E. Ward, Jr. defines a space X to have the complete invariance property (CIP) provided that each of the nonempty closed subsets of X is a fixed point set of X. The problem of determining fixed point sets of spaces has been investigated in [14] through [20] and [22]. Some spaces known to have CIP are n-cells[15], dendrites [20], convex subsets of Banach spaces [22], compact manifolds without boundary [16], and a class of polyhedra which includes all compact triangulable manifolds with or without boundary [18].

One aspect of the study of 3-manifolds is to determine what finite group actions a given manifold has. Some important questions that one can ask about these actions on a given manifold are: What periods could they have? and, what sets of points may be fixed by the action? In the case of periodic transformations of homology spheres, Smith [18] classified the types of fixed point sets which could occur. For homology 3-spheres the fixed point set will be ∅, S0, S1, or S2. Fox [4] looked at periodic transformations of the three sphere which leave a knot invariant and, using Smith's classification of fixed point sets, determined that there were eight types of transformations according to how the fixed point set met the knot. For convenience we shall say a knot is (a, b)-periodic if there is a periodic transformation of S3 leaving the knot invariant with fixed point set homeomorphic to a and with the fixed point set meeting the knot in a set homeomorphic to b.

We continue the work of [10], studying properties of digital images determined by fixed point invariants. We introduce pointed versions of invariants that were introduced in [10]. We introduce freezing sets and cold sets to show how the existence of a fixed point set for a continuous self-map restricts the map on the complement of the fixed point set.

In this paper, we show that [½, 1) is not a fixed point set of any wavelet induced isomorphism. The same holds for [0, ½). This settles Problem 1 posed in the paper "On wavelet induced isomorphisms" by Singh in Int. J. Wavelets Multiresolut. Inf. Process.8 (2010) 359–371. Further, we obtain that every other subinterval of [0, 1) of measure ½ is a fixed point set of some wavelet induced isomorphism.

The strong convergence of a hybrid algorithm to a common element of the fixed point sets of multivalued strictly pseudocontractive-type mappings and the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem in Hilbert spaces is obtained using a strict fixed point set condition. The obtained results improve, complement, and extend the results on multivalued and single-valued mappings in the contemporary literature.

We consider 3-manifolds admitting the action of an involution such that its space of orbits is homeomorphic to [Formula: see text] Such involutions are called hyperelliptic as the manifolds admitting such an action. We consider finite groups acting on 3-manifolds and containing hyperelliptic involutions whose fixed-point set has [Formula: see text] components. In particular we prove that a simple group containing such an involution is isomorphic to [Formula: see text] for some odd prime power [Formula: see text], or to one of four other small simple groups.
