A Poincaré–Bendixson theorem for translation lines and applications to prime ends

Abstract: For an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the sphere, we prove that if a translation line does not accumulate in a fixed point, then it necessarily spirals towards a topological attractor. This is in analogy with the description of flow lines given by Poincaré-Bendixson theorem. We then apply this result to the study of invariant continua without fixed points, in particular to circloids and boundaries of simply connected open sets. Among the applications, we show that if the prime ends rotation number of … Show more

“…Note that the set ωfalse(normalΓfalse) is a continuum which does not separate S2. Following [18], we call a continuum K a rotational attractor if it is a topological attractor for f, and the corresponding external prime ends rotation number is non‐zero (modulo 1). A point pK is accessible if there is an arc λ:[0,1]D, such that λ([0,1))DK and λ(1)=pK.…”

“…Remark Our application of Lemma 2.2 to sphere separating attractors is obtained by considering the filled (and thus sphere non‐separating) attractors (see [18]). Later, in Section 6 we shall discuss cofrontier attractors in the annulus, and use the lemma above for the exterior and interior prime end circles, to both of which the lemma can be applied by filling either one of the two complementary domains of the attractors.…”

“…The Poincaré-Bendixson theorem is one of the most fundamental tools to capture the limit behaviors of orbits of flows and was applied to various phenomena (e.g. [5,10,17,19,[29][30][31][32]). In [6], Birkhoff introduced the concepts of ω-limit set and α-limit set of a point.…”
