Simple braids for surface homeomorphisms

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Let S be a compact, oriented surface with negative Euler characteristic and f:S→S be a homeomorphism isotopic to the identity. If there exists a periodic orbit with a non-zero rotation vector (p→,q), then there exists a simple braid with the same rotation vector.
