Fixed Points of abelian actions on $S^{2}$

John Franks, Michael Handel, Kamlesh Parwani

We prove that if $F$ is a finitely generated abelian group of orientation preserving $C^{1}$ diffeomorphisms of $R^{2}$ which leaves invariant a compact set then there is a common fixe…

Distortion Elements in Group actions on surfaces

John Franks, Michael Handel

If $\G$ is a finitely generated group with generators ${g_{1}, ..., g_{j}}$ then an infinite order element $f \in \G$ is a {\em distortion element} of $\G$ provided $\displaystyle{\lim…
