Abstract

Let f:C→C be a self-map of the pseudo-circle C. Suppose that C is embedded into an annulus A, so that it separates the two components of the boundary of A. Let F:A→A be an extension of f to A (i.e. F|C=f). If F is of degree d then f has at least |d−1| fixed points. This result generalizes to all plane separating circle-like continua.
