We give a version of this result for nilpotent subgroups of isotopic to the identity diffeomorphisms of the $2$-torus. In such a context we guarantee the existence of global fixed points for nilpotent groups of irrotational diffeomorphisms. In particular we show that the derived group of a nilpotent group of isotopic to the identity diffeomorphisms of the $2$-torus has a global fixed point.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-21T18:53:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "global fixed point", "nilpotent actions", "nilpotent group", "identity diffeomorphisms", "invariant ergodic probability measure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
