Fixed points and fibre

Robert F. Brown

Vol. 21 (1967), No. 3, 465–472
Abstract

Let ℱ = (E,p,B) be a (Hurewicz) fibre space and let λ be a lifting function for ℱ For W a subset of B, a map f : p−1(W) → E is called a fibre map if p(e) = p(e′) implies p(f(e)) = p(f(e′)). Define f : W → B to be the map such that f−p = pf. If [W ∪ f(W)]−⊆ V ⊆ B where V is pathwise connected, define fbV : p−1(b) → p−1(b), for b ∈ W, by fbV (e) = λ(f(e),ω)(1) where ω;I → V is a path such that ω(0) = f(b)− and ω(1) = b. Let i be a fixed point index defined on the category of compact ANR’s and let Q denote the rationals. The main result of this paper is: THEOREM 1. Let ℱ = (E,p,B) be a fibre space such that E,B, and all the fibres are compact ANR’s. Let f : E → E be a fibre map. If U is an open subset of B such that f(b)≠b for all b ∈ bd(U) and cl [U ∪ f−(U)] ⊆ V ⊆Ḃ where V is open and pathwise connected and ℱ|V = (p−1(V ),p,V ) is Q-orientable, then

i(f,p−1(V )) = i(f− ,U ).L(fVb )

where L(fbV ) is the Lefschelz number of fbV for any b ∈ U.
