Coincidence point set conjecture for homotopic fixed point sets

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let XX be a contractible digital image and let f:X⟶Xf:X\longrightarrow X be a continuous mapping. Here, HFS(f,f)HFS(f,f) denotes the homotopic fixed point set for the pair (f,f)(f,f), S(f)S(f) denotes the set of possible fixed-point cardinalities among maps homotopic to ff, CFS(X)CFS(X) denotes the coincidence fixed point set of XX, and F(X)F(X) denotes the set of possible fixed-point cardinalities on XX. Coincidence point set conjecture. Then

HFS(f,f)=S(f)andCFS(X)=F(X).HFS(f,f)=S(f)\quad\text{and}\quad CFS(X)=F(X).

The conjecture addresses whether the two-map fixed-point invariants reduce to their ordinary fixed-point counterparts when the maps coincide. The supplied text gives the statement in response to preceding questions and verifies the corresponding equalities for a particular contractible three-dimensional digital image, but does not establish the claim for every contractible digital image.
