Planar isolated and stable fixed points have index =1. (English) Zbl 1052.37011

Summary: Let \(W\subset\mathbb{R}^2\) be an open subset and \(f:W\to f(W)\subset \mathbb{R}^2\) be an orientation reversing homeomorphism. We prove that if \(p\in W\) is an isolated and stable fixed point of \(f\) then the fixed point index of \(f\) at \(p\), \(i_{\mathbb{R}^2} (f,p)\), is 1. We apply our theorem to the study of the orbital stability of isolated periodic orbits of flows in four-dimensional Riemannian manifolds.
