Fixed point indices of planar continuous maps

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We characterize the sequences of fixed point indices i(fn,p)nge1 of fixed points that are isolated as an invariant set and continuous maps in the plane. In particular, we prove that the sequence is periodic and i(fn,p)le1 for every nge1. This characterization allows us to compute effectively the Lefschetz zeta functions for a wide class of continuous maps in the 2-sphere, to obtain new results of existence of infinite periodic orbits inspired on previous articles of J. Franks and to give a partial answer to a problem of Shub about the growth of the number of periodic orbits of degree--d maps in the 2-sphere.
