We first generalize the Volodin space which Volodin constructed in order to define a new algebraic K-theory. We investigate the topological (homotopy) properties of the general Volodin space. We also provide a theorem which seems to be useful in pure homotopy theory. We prove that $V(*_\alpha G_\alpha, {G_\alpha})$ is simply connected.

Nielsen coincidence theory is concerned with the determinatin of a lower bound of the minimal number MC[f,g] of coincidence points for all maps in the homotopy class of a given map (f,g) : X $\to$ Y. The Nielsen Nielsen number $N_R(f,g)$ (similar to [9]) is introduced in [3], which is a lower bound for the number of coincidence points in the relative homotopy class of (f,g) and $N_R(f,g) \geq N(f,g)$.

Let M be an n-dimensional compact connected and oriented Riemannian manifold isometrically immersed in an (n+2)-dimensional Euclidean space $R^{n+2}$. Moore [5] proved that if M is of positive curvature, then M is a homotopy sphere. This result is generalized by Baldin and Mercuri [2], Baik and Shin [1] to the case of non-negative curvature, which is stated as follows: If M of non-negative curvature, then M is either a homotopy sphere or diffeomorphic to a product of two spheres. In particular, if there is a point at which the curvature operator is positive, then M is homeomorphic to a sphere.e.

In this paper, we generalize the Gottlieb groups and the related G-sequence of those groups, and present some sufficient conditions to ensure the exactness or non-exactness of G-sequences at some terms. We also give some applications of the exactness or non-exactness of G-sequences. Especially, we show that the non-exactness of G-sequences implies the non-triviality of homotopy groups of some function spaces.

The purpose of this paper is to present some fixed point results for nonself multivalued operators on a set with two metrics. In addition, a homotopy result for multivalued operators on a set with two metrics is given. The data dependence and the well-posedness of the fixed point problem are also discussed.

In this study, we interpret the notion of homotopy of morphisms in the category of crossed modules in a category C of groups with operations using the categorical equivalence between the categories of crossed modules and of internal categories in C. Further, we characterize the derivations of crossed modules in a category C and obtain new crossed modules using regular derivations of old one.

Our aim in this paper is to introduce a generalization of some notions in homological algebra. We define the concepts of chain U-complex, U-homology, chain (U, U')-map, chain (U, U')-homotopy and $\mu$-functor. We also obtain some interesting results. We use these results to find a generalization of Lambek Lemma, Snake Lemma, Connecting Homomorphism and Exact Triangle.

In this paper, we compute the images of homotopy groups of various classical Lie groups under the homomorphisms induced by the natural projections from those groups to irreducible symmetric spaces of classical type. We identify that those computations are certain lower bounds of Gottlieb groups of irreducible symmetric spaces. We use the lower bounds to compute some Gottlieb groups.

We study the homotopical minimal periods for maps on infra-solvmanifolds of type (R) using the density of the homotopical minimal period set in the natural numbers. This extends the result of [10] from flat manifolds to infra-solvmanifolds of type (R). We give some examples of maps on infra-solvmanifolds of dimension three for which the corresponding density is positive.

In this paper, we extend the Gottlieb groups of a space to the Gottlieb groups of a map and show some properties of those groups. Especially, We show the 2nd Gottlieb group of a map is contained in the center of the homotopy group of the map and show $G_n(F) = \pi_n(f)$ for an H-map f between H-spaces. We also show the Gottlieb subgroups $G_n(A), G_n(X) and G_n(f)$ make a sequence if the map $f : A \to X$ has a right homotopy inverse.
