In this document, first we will introduce Persistance Homology and Category Theory basic concepts. Afterwards, we will develop the Merge Tree Theory which will be useful to keep track of connected components evolution of ...

The Lusternik-Schnirelmann category associates a positive integer to each topological space. This number is an important invariant in algebraic topology, critical point theory and symplectic geometry. In this dissertation ...

This work is based on Ph.d. thesis of R.Brooks [1]. R.Brooks develops his work in three parts, first establishes Nielsen s theory (Essential class, Nielsen s number, estimates for the Nielsen s number) for determined classes ...

The aim of this work is construct the example, presented by Boju Jiang, of a self - map on a manifold with non - realizable Nielsen number. Firstly we will need to present the fixed point theory and some results about ...

In the area of the theory of fixed points and coincidences of Nielsen, this study aims to develop techniques to minimize the set of fixed points in homotopies and the set of coincidences in pairs of homotopies. The techniques ...

This work is an approach to the famous "Product with a Line Problem". It investigates the class of topological spaces whose cartesian product with R is a topological manifold. Such spaces are called "Codimension One Manifold ...

The main objective of this work is to generalize an article of Pedro Pergher, specifically the article A Zp - index homomorphism for Zp-spaces - Houston J. Math. - 31 - (2005) - N. 2 - 305-314 [7], replacing the cyclic ...

The objective of this work is to present some procedures for orbits of periodic points class to relate the full Nielsen-Jiang periodic point of a self map of a manifold of dimension greater than three with the cardinality ...

The main objective of this work is to prove that the map B defined on F and taking values in B, where F is the set of all continuous functions from Sn to Rn and B is the set of all nonempty closed subsets of Sn, invariant ...

Let (Mm; T) be a smooth involution on a closed smooth m-dimensional manifold and F = n [j=0 Fj (n < m) its fixed point set, where Fj denotes the union of those components of F having dimension j. The famous Five Halves ...
