Nielsen theory is the part of topological fixed point theory that
employs techniques of algebraic topology to determine lower bounds on
the number of fixed point of all maps in a homotopy class. Related
topics include coincidence and periodic point theories. Nielsen
theory has close interactions with nonlinear analysis, dynamics and
geometric group theory. This conference continues a series extend

ing
back 30 years in which researchers bring each other up to date on
recent developments and establish working relationships for future
research projects.

The Canadian  Math Society will have their annual meeting just

before the Nielsen conference at Memorial University.

The special session we had originally planned as part of that

meeting  on June 8th will, unfortunately not be going ahead.

The conference proceedings will be published in the Journal of Fixed
Point Theory and Applications in the Fall of 2010. We invite
submissions of papers related to the topics of the conference, whether
presented at the conference or not. Referees will apply the usual
standards of this journal. To be considered for publication in the
proceedings, paper must be submitted by JULY 31, 2009. Papers may be
submitted at any time up to the deadline and should be sent to Robert
Brown, preferably as a pdf attachment to an email message, to
rfb@math.ucla.edu.
