Lefschetz fixed-point theorem



In mathematics, the Lefschetz fixed-point theorem is a formula that counts the number of fixed points of a continuous mapping from a compact topological space X to itself by means of traces of the induced mappings on the homology groups of X. It is named after Solomon Lefschetz, who first stated it in 1926.
