Abstract

Let f:T2T2f: \mathbb{T}^2 \to \mathbb{T}^2 be a homeomorphism homotopic to the identity and F:R2R2F: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2 a lift of ff such that the rotation set ρ(F)\rho(F) is a line segment of rational slope containing a point in Q2\mathbb{Q}^2. We prove that if ff is ergodic with respect to the Lebesgue measure on the torus and the average rotation vector (with respect to same measure) does not belong to Q2\mathbb{Q}^2 then some power of ff is an annular homeomorphism.
