Abstract

Abstract Let F M { ^q\, }M/F F ↪ M → q M / F be a fibration, where M is a compact Lie group, F M F ⊂ M is a closed subgroup and M / F is the homogeneous space of left cosets. Let W be an orientable, connected, closed manifold of the same dimension as M. Given maps f, g: W M/F f, g: W → M / F that lift through q, we establish a comparison between the ranks of the C C ˇ ech cohomology groups of the fiber F and those of the coincidence set Coin (f, g) Coin (f, g). As a consequence, we show that for any maps f₁ f f 1 ≃ f and g₁ g g 1 ≃ g, the coincidence set Coin (f₁, g₁) Coin (f 1, g 1) cannot be a proper subset of any embedded copy of F within W, unless it is empty. We then apply this result to describe minimal coincidence sets for any pairs of maps from either S³ S 3 or RP³ R P 3 into either S² S 2 or RP² R P 2
