On approximation of maps into real algebraic homogeneous spaces

Homotopy Classification of Maps into Homogeneous Spaces

We give an alternative to Postnikov’s homotopy classification of maps from 3-dimensional CW-complexes to homogeneous spaces G/H of Lie groups. It describes homotopy classes in terms of lifts to the group G and is suitable for extending the notion of homotopy to Sobolev maps. This is required in applications to variational problems of mathematical physics.

Spaces of algebraic maps from real projective spaces into complex projective spaces

We study the homotopy types of spaces of algebraic (rational) maps from real projective spaces into complex projective spaces. It was already shown in [1] that the inclusion of the first space into the second one is a homotopy equivalence. In this paper we prove that the homotopy types of the terms of the natural ‘degree’ filtration approximate closer and closer the homotopy type of the space o...

Spaces of algebraic and continuous maps between real algebraic varieties

We consider the inclusion of the space of algebraic (regular) maps between real algebraic varieties in the space of all continuous maps. For a certain class of real algebraic varieties, which include real projective spaces, it is well known that the space of real algebraic maps is a dense subset of the space of all continuous maps. Our first result shows that, for this class of varieties, the i...

Jiang-type Theorems for Coincidences of Maps into Homogeneous Spaces

Let f, g : X → G/K be maps from a closed connected orientable manifold X to an orientable coset space M = G/K where G is a compact connected Lie group, K a closed subgroup and dimX = dimM . In this paper, we show that if L(f, g) = 0 then N(f, g) = 0; if L(f, g) 6= 0 then N(f, g) = R(f, g) where L(f, g), N(f, g), and R(f, g) denote the Lefschetz, Nielsen, and Reidemeister coincidence numbers of ...
