Least Number of Periodic Points of Self-maps of Lie Groups

There are two algebraic lower bounds of the number of n-periodic points of a self-map f :M → M of a compact smooth manifold of dimension at least 3:N Fn(f) = min{#Fix(gn); g ～f; g is continuous} and N J Dn(f) = min{#Fix(gn); g ～ f; g is smooth}.In general,N J Dn(f) may be much greater than N Fn(f).If M is a torus,then the invariants are equal.We show that for a self-map of a nonabelian compact Lie group,with free fundamental group,the equality holds  all eigenvalues of a quotient cohomology homomorphism induced by f have moduli ≤ 1.
