Affine Fixed Points on Flat Manifold Pairs

In this paper we consider affine selfmaps of compact flat manifold pairs. We derive an explicit formula for the relative Nielsen number in terms of the ambient holonomy and the holonomy carried by the stabilizer of the lifted submanifold. The formula extends the flat specialization of Wong’s nilmanifold-pair formula to finite holonomy, agrees with the author’s earlier model-solvmanifold-pair formula on the flat overlap, and extends beyond it. We also show that the stabilizer holonomy cannot in general be replaced by the intrinsic holonomy of the submanifold. Examples exhibit interesting Schirmer theory and include flat pairs outside the model-solvmanifold class.
