SCHWEITZER 1994 Problem 10
Let be a closed, oriented 2-dimensional smooth surface, is a smooth homeomorphism whose order is an odd prime p (i.e., the p-th iterate is the identity). Then f has a finite number of fixed points: . In the tangent plane at the fixed point , 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 , where is a natural number, . Prove that
