Abstract: Let $G$ be a group. We say that an element $finG$ is {em reversible in} $G$ if it is conjugate to its inverse, i.e. there exists $ginG$ such that $g^{-1}fg=f^{-1}$. We denote the set of reversible elements by $R(G)$. For $finG$, we denote by $R_f(G)$ the set (possibly empty) of {em reversers} of $f$, i.e. the set of $ginG$ such that $g^{-1}fg=f^{-1}$. We characterise the elements of $R(G)$ and describe each $R_f(G)$, where $G$ is the the group of biholomorphic germs in one complex variable. That is, we determine all solutions to the equation $fcircgcircf=g$, in which $f$ and $g$ are holomorphic functions on some neighbourhood of the origin, with $f(0)=g(0)=0$ and $f^{\prime }(0)ot=0ot=g^{\prime }(0)$.

Review text

This paper determines all solutions to the equation \(f\circ g\circ f = g\), where \(f\) and \(g\) are holomorphic functions in one variable in a neighborhood of the origin with \(f(0)=g(0)=0\) and \(f'(0)g'(0)\neq 0\). This is motivated by the following group-theoretic question, for the group \(G\) of invertible holomorphic germs near the origin in the complex plane: an \(f\in G\) is called \textit{reversible in \(G\)} if it is conjugate to its inverse, i.e., there exists a \(g\in G\) with \(g^{-1}\circ f\circ g = f^{-1}\) or equivalently \(f\circ g\circ f = g\); such a \(g\) is called a \textit{reverser} of \(f\). This paper finds all reversible \(f\in G\), and for each of these, it finds all reversers.
