| Research Abstract |
We considered a homeomorphism on a compact orientable surface which is isotopic to the identity map. Using fixed point index and braid invariant, we investigated the topological property of periodic points of this map, and has obtained the following results on fixed points:
1. We introduced a relation on the fixed point set, and showed that this relation is an equivalence relation.
2. We proved that the fixed point index of an equivalence class is invariant under the isotopy of the map. This is useful to determine the fixed point indices of equivalence classes of given map
3. We showed that every equivalence class has fixed point index at most one
4. Applying the above result, we showed that if an equivalence class has at least two fixed points, then one of them must be unstable. This result gives a relationship between the stability of a fixed point and the global topology of the map
5. The number of equivalence classes containing an unstable point is greater than half of the number of all equivalence classes minus the genus of the surface
6. If these is an equivalence class which has only one point and this point has index one, then the topological entropy of the map is positive. This shows that a topological property of fixed points implies the dynamical property of the map
