Antipodal fixed-point classification of Möbius transformations

ID: antipodal-fixed-point-classification-of-mobius-transformations

For a nonidentity Möbius transformation whose two fixed points are antipodal under stereographic projection, conjugate by a sphere rotation sending them to . The conjugated map fixes both, hence is with . If it is an axial rotation; if every finite orbit tends to zero; if every nonzero orbit tends to infinity. Undoing the rotation gives either a sphere rotation or one attracting fixed point with the other as the sole exceptional initial point.
