Periodic point free homeomorphisms and irrational rotation factors
Periodic point free homeomorphisms and irrational rotation factors
We provide a complete characterization of periodic point free homeomorphisms of the $2$-torus admitting irrational circle rotations as topological factors. Given a homeomorphism of the $2$-torus without periodic points and exhibiting uniformly bounded rotational deviations with respect to a rational direction, we show that annularity and the geometry of its …
