We prove that if $F$ is a finitely generated abelian group of orientation preserving $C^1$ diffeomorphisms of $R^2$ which leaves invariant a compact set then there is a common fixed point for all elements of $F.$ We also show that if $F$ is…

We prove that if $G\subset\text{Diff}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ is an Abelian subgroup generated by a family of commuting diffeomorphisms of the plane, all of which are $C^{1}$-close to the identity in the strong $C^{1}$-topology, and if there…

We study groups of homeomorphisms of R, each of whose elements have at most one fixed point. In particular we prove that any such group of C^2 diffeomorphisms is topologically conjugate to an affine group.

We classify all finite subgroups of the plane Cremona group which have a fixed point. In other words, we determine all rational surfaces X with an action of a finite group G such that X is equivariantly birational to a surface which has a…

Let S be a closed surface with nonzero Euler characteristic. We prove the existence of an open neighborhood V of the identity map of S in the C^1-topology with the following property: if G is an abelian subgroup of Diff^1(S) generated by…

We prove that a nilpotent subgroup of orientation preserving $C^{1}$ diffeomorphisms of ${\mathbb S}^{2}$ has a finite orbit of cardinality at most two. We also prove that a finitely generated nilpotent subgroup of orientation preserving…

Gromov showed that for fixed, arbitrarily large C, any uniformly C-Lipschitz affine action of a random group in his graph model on a Hilbert space has a fixed point. We announce a theorem stating that more general affine actions of the same…

It is shown, for a given graph group $G$, that the fixed point subgroup Fix$\,\varphi$ is finitely generated for every endomorphism $\varphi$ of $G$ if and only if $G$ is a free product of free abelian groups. The same conditions hold for…

The main result of this paper is that every non-trivial Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed oriented surface of genus at least one has periodic points of arbitrarily high period. The same result is true for S^2 provided the…

An isotopic to the identity map of the $2$-torus, that has zero rotation vector with respect to an invariant ergodic probability measure, has a fixed point by a theorem of Franks. We give a version of this result for nilpotent subgroups of…

We prove that a locally nilpotent group $G$ of $C^{1}$ diffeomorphisms of a compact surface $S$ of non-vanishing Euler characteristic has a finite orbit ${\mathcal O}$ whose cardinal is bounded by above by a function of the characteristic…

We prove that for each integer k of at least 2, there is an open neigborhood \nu_k of the identity map of the 2-sphere S^2, in C^1-topology such that: if G is a nilpotent subgroup of Diff^1(S^2) with length k of nilpotency, generated by…

Let F be a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero whose residue field has at least three elements. Let G be an almost simple linear algebraic group over F, with rank_F(G) >= 2. Let X be a simply connected symmetric space of…

A group of bijections G acting on a set X is said with fixed points (abbreviated as gaf from the french "groupe {\`a} points fixes") if any element of G has at least one fixed point in X. The G group is said with a common fixed point…

In this paper, we study the action on C^n of any group G of holomorphic diffeomorphisms (automorphisms) of C^n fixing 0. Suppose that there is x in C^n, having an orbit which generates C^n and also E(x)=C^n, where E(x) is the vector space…

A classical result by Solodov states that if a group acts on the line such that any non-trivial element has at most one fixed point, then the action is either abelian or semi-conjugate to an affine action. We show that the same holds if we…

Macbeath gave a formula for the number of fixed points for each non-identity element of a cyclic group of automorphisms of a compact Riemann surface in terms of the universal covering transformation group of the cyclic group. We observe…

We prove a local-to-global result for fixed points of groups acting on affine buildings (possibly non-discrete) of types $\tilde{A}_2$ or $\tilde{C}_2$. In the discrete case, our theorem establishes the corresponding special cases of a…

We prove the existence of common fixed points for commuting homeomorphisms of the plane R^2 or the sphere S^2, which preserve a probability measure. For example: some commuting C^1-diffeomorphisms of S^2, which are sufficiently close to the…

If $f:[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}$, with $a<b$, is continuous and such that $a$ and $b$ are mapped in opposite directions by $f$, then $f$ has a fixed point in $I$. Suppose that $f:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$ is map and $X$ is a continuum. We extend…
