Fixed point sets of isotopies on surfaces

Abstract: We consider a self-homeomorphism h of some surface S. A subset F of the fixed point set of h is said to be unlinked if there is an isotopy from the identity to h that fixes every point of F . With Le Calvez' transverse foliations theory in mind, we prove the existence of unlinked sets that are maximal with respect to inclusion. As a byproduct, we prove the arcwise connectedness of the space of homeomorphisms of the 2-sphere that preserves the orientation and pointwise fix some given closed connected set F .

“…In general, let us say that an identity isotopy of f is a maximal isotopy, if there is no fixed point of f whose trajectory is contractible relative to the fixed point set of I. A very recent result of F. Béguin, S. Crovisier and F. Le Roux (see [BCL2]) asserts that such an isotopy always exists if f is isotopic to the identity (a slightly weaker result was previously proved by O. Jaulent (see [J])).…”

“…More precisely, an identity isotopy I of a surface homeomorphism f is a continuous family of homeomorphisms (f t ) t∈[0,1] with f 0 = Id and f 1 = f , and a maximal isotopy is an identity isotopy I = (f t ) t∈[0, 1] of f such that f does not have any fixed point whose trajectory along I is contractible in M \ Fix(I), where Fix(I) = ∩ t∈[0,1] Fix(f t ) is the fixed points set of I. To such an isotopy, one can associate transverse foliations [10], i.e.…”
