Regularization of Brouwer Translation Theorem

Abstract

The celebrated Brouwer translation theorem asserts that for a preserving orientation fixed point free homeomorphism of the plane, each point belongs to an invariant region where the dynamics is continuously conjugate to a translation. In this work we prove that if we start with a \({\mathcal {C}}^m, m\in {\mathbb {N}}\cup \{\infty \},\) diffeomorphism then the referred conjugacy has the same kind of regularity.
