Talk:Lefschetz fixed-point theorem

is defined arbitrarily for maps $X\backslash rightarrow\; X$, then if we use the identity map we get $\backslash Lambda\_\{id\}=\backslash \#(\backslash Delta,\backslash Delta,M\backslash times\; M)=\backslash chi(M)$ is the intersection number of the diagonal with itself in the product manifold $M\backslash times\; M$, i.e., the Euler characteristic. On the algebraic topological level I'm sure this holds too, that $\backslash chi(M)=\backslash Lambda\_\{id\}(M)$. Anyone know more about this? MotherFunctor 05:55, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

it would be nice to have a reference (to look up proofs) for the statements about the Frobenius. --79.83.77.245 (talk) 00:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
