SCHWEITZER 1994 Problem 10

    Let F2F^2 be a closed, oriented 2-dimensional smooth surface, f:F2→F2f : F^2 \to F^2 is a smooth homeomorphism whose order is an odd prime p (i.e., the p-th iterate f∘f∘⋯∘ff \circ f \circ \cdots \circ f is the identity). Then f has a finite number of fixed points: P1,...,PsP_1 , ..., P_s . In the tangent plane at the fixed point PiP_i , a positively directed (i.e., compatible with the direction of the surface) base can be chosen in which f is differentiated by a rotation with positive angle 2πki/p2\pi k_i/p , where kik_i is a natural number, 0<ki<p0 < k_i < p . Prove that ∑i=1skip−2≡0(modp)\sum_{i = 1}^s k_i^{p-2}\equiv0\pmod{p}
