Moreover we prove that the differential of a distortion element in the group of diffeomorphisms of the 2-sphere having at least three fixed points at a fixed point has a unique eigenvalue which is 1.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-12-07T14:07:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37E30", "37E45", "37B05" ], "keywords": [ "distortion element", "diffeomorphisms", "fixed point", "recurrent point" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
