Abstract: I will describe an interesting question of Alex Wright about fixed-point-free homeomorphisms of surfaces, as well as the question's implications for surface bundles over surfaces. Then I'll describe a complete answer for periodic maps on a surface, and say a few words about the main case of interest (pseudo-Anosov maps).
