The problem of the cosmic coincidence is a longstanding puzzle. This conundrum may be solved by introducing a coupling between the two dark sectors. In this Letter, we study two cases of the coupled quintessence scenario. (a) Assume that the mass of dark matter particles depends exponentially on the scalar field associated to dark energy and meanwhile the scalar field evolves in an exponential ...

We study the Fadell–Husseini index of the configuration space F (R, n) with respect to different subgroups of the symmetric group Sn. For p prime and k ≥ 1, we completely determine IndexZ/p(F (R, p);Fp) and partially describe Index(Z/p)k (F (R, p);Fp). In this process we obtain results of independent interest, including: (1) an extended equivariant Goresky–MacPherson formula, (2) a complete des...

This paper centers around two basic problems of topological coincidence theory. First, try to measure (with the help of Nielsen and minimum numbers) how far a given pair of maps is from being loose, i.e. from being homotopic to a pair of coincidence free maps. Secondly, describe the set of loose pairs of homotopy classes. We give a brief (and necessarily very incomplete) survey of some old and ...

Our results improve and restate the proof lines of the main results given in the papers (Eshaghi Gordji et al. in Math. Comput. Model....

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a w-compatible mappings and utilize the same to discuss the ideas of coupled coincidence point and coupled point of coincidence for nonlinear contractive mappings in the context of complex valued metric spaces besides proving existence theorems which are following by corresponding unique coupled common fixed point theorems for such mappings. Some illus...

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 ...

Transitions between states up to spin 16' populated in the ' Nd(a, 4n) reaction were observed using y-y coincidence, y-ray angular distribution and excitation function, and delayed y-ray measurements. A level scheme was constructed up to 6.2 MeV with all levels above 3.8 MeV observed for the first time. Levels below 4.1 MeU were interpreted in terms of the coupling between two extra-core neutro...

Given two maps f1, f2 : M −→ N between manifolds of the indicated arbitrary dimensions, when can they be deformed away from one another? More generally: what is the minimum number MCC(f1, f2) of pathcomponents of the coincidence space of maps f ′ 1 , f ′ 2 where f ′ i is homotopic to fi, i = 1, 2 ? Approaching this question via normal bordism theory we define a lower bound N(f1, f2) which gener...
