Abstract

Let GG be a group. We say that an element fGf\in G is {\em reversible in} GG if it is conjugate to its inverse, i.e. there exists gGg\in G such that g1fg=f1g^{-1}fg=f^{-1}. We denote the set of reversible elements by R(G)R(G). For fGf\in G, we denote by Rf(G)R_f(G) the set (possibly empty) of {\em reversers} of ff, i.e. the set of gGg\in G such that g1fg=f1g^{-1}fg=f^{-1}. We characterise the elements of R(G)R(G) and describe each Rf(G)R_f(G), where GG is the the group of biholomorphic germs in one complex variable. That is, we determine all solutions to the equation fgf=g f\circ g\circ f = g, in which ff and gg are holomorphic functions on some neighbourhood of the origin, with f(0)=g(0)=0f(0)=g(0)=0 and f(0)0g(0)f'(0)\not=0\not=g'(0).
