Abstract: Let phi:R2oR2 be an orientation--preserving C1 involution such that phi(0)=0 and let mSpc,(phi)=mEigenvalues,,of,,Dphi(p)midpinR2. We prove that if mSpc,(phi)subsetR or mSpc,(phi)cap[1,1+epsilon)=emptyset for some epsilon>0 then phi is globally C1 conjugate to the linear involution Dphi(0) via the conjugacy h=(I+Dphi(0)phi)/2, where I:R2oR2 is the identity map. Similarly, if phi is an orientation-reversing C1 involution such that phi(0)=0 and for all pinR2 then phi is globally C1 conjugate to the linear involution Dphi(0) via the conjugacy h. Finally, we show that h may fail to be a global linearization of phi if the above conditions are not fulfilled.


Let \(\phi:\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R^2\) be an involution. It is known [\textit{H. Cartan}, Sur les groupes de transformations analytiques. (Exposés mathématiques IX.) Actual. scient. et industr. 1935, Nr. 198, 53 p (1935; JFM 61.0370.02)] that if \(\phi\in C^r,~r\geq1\), and \(p\) is its fixed point, then locally around this fixed point, the involution is locally \(C^r\) conjugate to the linear involution \(D\phi(p)\) via the conjugacy \(h:=(I+D\phi(p)\phi)/2\). The authors of the present article provide conditions on the involution \(\phi\) under which \(h\) is a global linearization of \(\phi\). If these conditions are violated, \(h\) may fail to be a global linearization.
