文摘There are two algebraic lower bounds of the number of n-periodic points of a self-map f ： M →4 M of a compact smooth manifold of dimension at least 3： NFn（f） = min{#Fix（gn）;g - f; g continuous} and NJDn（f） = min{#Fix（gn）;g - f; g smooth}. In general, NJDn（f） may be much greater than NFn（f）. We show that for a self-map of a semi-simple Lie group, inducing the identity fundamental group homomorphism, the equality NFn（f） = NJDn（f） holds for all n →← all eigenvalues of a quotient cohomology homomorphism induced by f have moduli ≤ 1.
