Fixed point indices of iterates of orientation-reversing homeomorphisms

Abstract

We show that any sequence of integers satisfying necessary Dold's congruences is realized as the sequence of fixed point indices of the iterates of an orientation-reversing homeomorphism of $R^m$ for $m\ge 3$. As an element of the construction of the above homeomorphism, we consider the class of boundary-preserving homeomorphisms of $R_{+}^m$ and give the answer to the problem posed by Barge and Wójcik (2017) [2] providing a complete description of the forms of fixed point indices for this class of maps.
