Periodic points and braid theory

From MaRDI portal





This article is a survey on applications of braid theory to the study of the periodic orbit structure of iterated homeomorphisms on surfaces. The structure of the paper is as follows: Introduction, Braids and braid types, Matrix representations of braid groups, Nielsen fixed point theory on surfaces, Nielsen-Thurston classification theory, Applications of Nielsen-Thurston theory, Forcing relation on braid types, Topological entropy. An extensive bibliography ends the paper. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1067.55001].
