We construct rational maps of ℙn which have a prescribed variety as a component of their fixed point set. The resulting maps fix a pencil of lines for the case of hypersurfaces; thus including the cases of plane curves. We also determine the Cremona maps among the constructed ones for quadratic hypersurfaces. Our methods are based on associated matrices of forms of constant degree and the "triple action" of G = PGL n+1 on them. We include a complete classification of these maps and matrices for the case of the smooth conic curve in ℙ2. We obtain invariants and canonical forms for the orbits of our matrices under the triple action of G, modulo syzygies of a row vector. We obtain invariants and canonical forms for the orbits of the constructed rational maps under conjugation by G.

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.

AbstractThe famous five halves theorem of Boardman states that, if T: Mm → Mm is a smooth involution defined on a non-bounding closed smooth m-dimensional manifold Mm (m > 1) and ifis the fixed-point set of T, where Fj denotes the union of those components of F having dimension j, then 2m ≤ 5n. If the dimension m is written as m = 5k − c, where k ≥ 1 and 0 ≤ c < 5, the theorem states that the dimension n of the fixed submanifold is at least β(m), where β(m) = 2k if c = 0, 1, 2 and β(m) = 2k − 1 if c = 3, 4. In this paper, we give, for each m > 1, the equivariant cobordism classification of involutions (Mm, T), for which the fixed submanifold F attains the minimal dimension β(m).

We consider a triple hierarchical variational inequality problem (THVIP), that is, a variational inequality problem defined over the set of solutions of another variational inequality problem which is defined over the intersection of the fixed point set of a strict pseudocontractive mapping and the solution set of the classical variational inequality problem. Moreover, we propose a multistep hybrid extragradient method to compute the approximate solutions of the THVIP and present the convergence analysis of the sequence generated by the proposed method. We also derive a solution method for solving a system of hierarchical variational inequalities (SHVI), that is, a system of variational inequalities defined over the intersection of the fixed point set of a strict pseudocontractive mapping and the solution set of the classical variational inequality problem. Under very mild conditions, it is proven that the sequence generated by the proposed method converges strongly to a unique solution of the SHVI.

AbstractLet X bea Stein manifold with an anti-holomorphic involution τ and nonempty compact fixed point set Xτ. We show that X is diffeomorphic to the normal bundle of Xτ provided that X admits a complete Riemannian metric g of nonnegative sectional curvature such that τ*g = g.

<p>In this article, we introduce the concept of a soft quasi-pseudometric space. We show that every soft quasi-pseudometric induces a compatible quasi-pseudometric on the collection of all soft points of the absolute soft set whenever the parameter set is finite. We then introduce the concept of soft Isbell convexity and show that a self non-expansive map of a soft quasi-metric space has a nonempty soft Isbell convex fixed point set.</p>

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.

<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>
