Let $f\colon M\to M$ be a self-map of a compact manifold and $n\in \mathbb{N}$. The least number of $n$-periodic points in the smooth homotopy class of $f$ may be smaller than in the continuous homotopy class. We ask: for which self-maps $f\colon M\to M$ the two minima are the same, for each prescribed multiplicity? In the study of self-maps of tori and compact Lie groups a necessary condition appears. Here we give a criterion which helps to decide whether the necessary condition is also sufficient. We apply this result to show that for self-maps of the product of the lens space $M=L(3)\times L(3)$ the necessary condition is also sufficient.References
