Fixed points in non-invariant plane continua

Abstract: If

f : [a, b] o m a t h b b R

, with

a < b

, is continuous and such that

a

and

b

are mapped in opposite directions by

f

, then

f

has a fixed point in

I

. Suppose that

f : m a t h b b C o m a t h b b C

is map and

X

is a continuum. We extend the above for certain continuous maps of dendrites

X o D, X s u b s e t D

and for positively oriented maps

f : X o m a t h b b C, X s u b s e t m a t h b b C

with the continuum

X

not necessarily invariant. Then we show that in certain cases a holomorphic map

f : m a t h b b C o m a t h b b C

must have a fixed point

a

in a continuum

X

so that either

a i n m a t h r m I n t (X)

or

f

exhibits rotation at

a

.
