Jan 11, 2014 at 16:27 comment added Arnaud Mortier The point of Marco and Ryan is that if $f$ does not fix the base point (wherever it is) then $f$ does not induce a homomorphism at the level of the fundamental group.
Dec 14, 2013 at 15:16 comment added user5604 With the Dehn presentation, we can choose the base point to be any point above the region $\mathbb{R}^{2} \cup \infty$ where we have placed the regular projection. I want to understand whether or not an isomorphism of the fundamental group of a link induced by an orientation preserving periodic homeomorphism can distinguish between a periodic homeomorphism that has $S^{1}$ as its fixed point set or one that is freely periodic.

Dec 14, 2013 at 14:15 comment added Ryan Budney It sounds like your question isn't well-stated as you don't have a basepoint.
Dec 14, 2013 at 10:55 comment added user5604 Consider a regular link projection of $K$ with base-point above the link and consider then the Dehn presentation. If $f$ fixes the base-point, then we know that $f$ cannot be freely periodic and must have fixed point set homeomorphic to $S^{1} $ disjoint from $K$ with knot type the trivial knot by the Smith conjecture.
