Abstract

In this paper we investigate fixed-point numbers of endomorphisms on complex tori. Specifically, motivated by the asymptotic perspective that has turned out in recent years to be so fruitful in Algebraic Geometry, we study how the number of fixed points behaves when the endomorphism is iterated. Our first result shows that the fixed-points function of an endomorphism on a two-dimensional complex torus can have only three different kinds of behaviours, and we characterize these behaviours in terms of the analytic eigenvalues. Our second result focuses on simple abelian surfaces and provides criteria for the fixed-points behaviour in terms of the possible types of endomorphism algebras.
