Katok, Anatole (ed.) et al., Modern theory of dynamical systems. A tribute to Dmitry Victorovich Anosov. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (ISBN 978-1-4704-2560-9/pbk; 978-1-4704-4119-7/ebook). Contemporary Mathematics 692, 101-110 (2017).
Summary: In these notes we describe the properties of, and generalize, the function \(\mathcal {R}\) which assigns a number to a \(4\)-tuple of distinct fixed points of an orientation preserving homeomorphism or diffeomorphism of \(S^2\).
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1370.37002].
