Abstract

In this article we consider homeomorphisms of the open annulus \(\mathbb {A}=\mathbb {R}/\mathbb {Z}\times \mathbb {R}\) which are isotopic to the identity and preserve a Borel probability measure of full support, focusing on the existence of non-contractible periodic orbits. Assume f is such homeomorphism such that the connected components of the set of fixed points of f are all compact. Further assume that there exists \(\check{f}\) a lift of f to the universal covering of \(\mathbb {A}\) such that the set of fixed points of \(\check{f}\) is non-empty and that this set projects into an open topological disk of \(\mathbb {A}\). We prove that, in this setting, one of the following two conditions must be satisfied: (1) f has non-contractible periodic points of arbitrarily large periodic, or (2) for every compact set K of \(\mathbb {A}\) there exists a constant M (depending on the compact set) such that, if \(\check{z}\) and \(\check{f}^n(\check{z})\) project on K, then their projections on the first coordinate have distance less or equal to M.
