Review text

Let \(F\) be an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the plane, and \(\Delta\) an invariant irreducible plane separating continuum. The main result of the article states that if \(p/q\) is a reduced rational belonging to the rotation interval of \(F\) on \(\Delta\) (in fact of a lift of \(F\) to a universal cover of a neighborhood of \(\Delta)\) different from three exceptional numbers, then there exist at least two distinct periodic orbits in \(\Delta\) of period \(q\) and whose rotation number (for the lift) is equal to \(p/q\). If \(\Delta\) is an attractor, only one rational is excluded. A similar result holds for certain non-separating continua. The above is a fusion of the line presented in [\textit{M. Barge} and \textit{R. M. Gillette}, Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 11, 619-631 (1991; Zbl 0756.54021)] (the separating case) and [\textit{M. Barge}, Topol. Proc. 20, 1-13 (1995; Zbl 0910.54034)] (the non-separating case), where the existence of one such orbit has been proved, for every rational in a certain interval, with the direction of the classical Poincaré-Birkhoff theorem, where two fixpoints are constructed in a very special situation. To get the second orbit, the authors strongly use a technique of finding periodic disk chains, first introdnced by \textit{J. Franks} in [Ann. Math. (2) 128, 139-151 (1988; Zbl 0676.58037)]. The case of a non-separating continuum \(\Lambda\) is treated by applying a technique of ``splitting open presented in [\textit{M. Barge}, loc. cit.], i.e., of finding a special lift with respect to which \(\Lambda\) becomes the image of a plane separating continuum \(\Delta\).
