Abstract: This paper studies homeomorphisms of the closed annulus that are isotopic to the identity from the viewpoint of rotation theory, using a newly developed forcing theory for surface homeomorphisms. Our first result is a solution to the so called strong form of Boyland's Conjecture on the closed annulus: Assume $f$ is a homeomorphism of $overlinemathbbA:=(mathbbR/mathbbZ)imes[0,1]$ which is isotopic to the identity and preserves a Borel probability measure $mu$ with full support. We prove that if the rotation set of $f$ is a non-trivial segment, then the rotation number of the measure $mu$ cannot be an endpoint of this segment. We also study the case of homeomorphisms such that $mathbbA=(mathbbR/mathbbZ)imes(0,1)$ is a region of instability of $f$. We show that, if the rotation numbers of the restriction of $f$ to the boundary components lies in the interior of the rotation set of $f$, then $f$ has uniformly bounded deviations from its rotation set. Finally, by combining this last result and recent work on realization of rotation vectors for annular continua, we obtain that if $f$ is any area-preserving homeomorphism of $overlinemathbbA$ isotopic to the identity, then for every real number $ho$ in the rotation set of $f$, there exists an associated Aubry-Mather set, that is, a compact $f$-invariant set such that every point in this set has a rotation number equal to $ho$. This extends a result by P. Le Calvez previously known only for diffeomorphisms.
