Some virtually abelian subgroups of the group of analytic symplectic diffeomorphisms of
John Franks, Michael Handel
We show that if is a compact oriented surface of genus 0 and is a subgroup of $\Symp^ω_μ(M)$ which has an infinite normal solvable subgroup, then is virtually abelian.…
Entropy zero area preserving diffeomorphisms of
John Franks, Michael Handel
In this paper we formulate and prove a structure theorem for area preserving diffeomorphisms of genus zero surfaces with zero entropy. As an application we relate the existence of…
Global fixed points for centralizers and Morita's Theorem
John Franks, Michael Handel
We prove a global fixed point theorem for the centralizer of a homeomorphism of the two dimensional disk that has attractor-repeller dynamics on the boundary with at least two…
Complete semi-conjugacies for psuedo-Anosov homeomorphisms
John Franks, Michael Handel
Suppose is a surface of genus , is a surface homeomorphism isotopic to a pseudo-Anosov map and suppose $\ti S$ is the universal cover of and an…
Fixed Points of abelian actions
John Franks, Michael Handel, Kamlesh Parwani
We prove that if $\F$ is an abelian group of diffeomorphisms isotopic to the identity of a closed surface of genus at least two then there is a common fixed point for all…
Fixed Points of abelian actions on
John Franks, Michael Handel, Kamlesh Parwani
We prove that if is a finitely generated abelian group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of which leaves invariant a compact set then there is a common fixe…
