On the growth of the sequence of indices of the iterates of $\R^3$-homeomorphisms
Given a homeomorphism $f:\R^3\to\R^3$ such
that $Fix(f)=Per(f)=\{ 0\}$, we will discuss in geometric
dynamical terms the behavior of the sequence $\{i(f^m,0)\}_{m \in
\N}$ of the fixed point indices of its iterates at 0.
We shall comment, from this point of view, some of the most
important known results in this topic.
