Fixed points of n-valued maps on surfaces and the Wecken property -- a configuration space approach
英文摘要：
In this paper, we explore the fixed point theory of $n$-valued maps using configuration spaces and braid groups, focussing on two fundamental problems, the Wecken property, and the computation of the Nielsen number. We show that the projective plane (resp.\ the $2$-sphere ${\mathbb S}^{2}$) has the Wecken property for $n$-valued maps for all $n\in {\mathbb N}$ (resp.\ all $n\geq 3$). In the case $n=2$ and ${\mathbb S}^{2}$, we prove a partial result about the Wecken property. We then describe the Nielsen number of a non-split $n$-valued map $ϕ\colon\thinspace X \multimap X$ of an orientable, compact manifold without boundary in terms of the Nielsen coincidence numbers of a certain finite covering $q\colon\thinspace \widehat{X} \to X$ with a subset of the coordinate maps of a lift of the $n$-valued split map $ϕ\circ q\colon\thinspace \widehat{X} \multimap X$.
