Gottlieb's centralizer conjecture for nonzero-degree maps
Gottlieb's centralizer conjecture for nonzero-degree maps
Let be a finite aspherical CW-complex which is not acyclic, and let be a continuous map. Define the degree of by letting be the least integer for which there exists a group homomorphism
with . Gottlieb's conjecture. If and , then the centralizer of in is trivial. The conjecture concerns restrictions on nonzero-degree maps to finite aspherical complexes; the paper's abstract states that it gives a counterexample to the original conjecture and proves a strengthened version, so the original claim is refuted.
