The Brouwer’s plane translation theorem asserts that for a fixed point free orientation preserving homeomorphism of the plane, every point belongs to a Brouwer line: a proper topological embedding C of , disjoint from its image and separating and . Suppose that commutes with the elements of a discrete group G of orientation preserving homeomorphisms acting freely and properly on the plane. We will construct a G-invariant topological foliation of the plane by Brouwer lines. We apply this result to give simple proofs of previous results about area-preserving homeomorphisms of surfaces and to prove the following theorem: any hamiltonian homeomorphism of a closed surface of genus has infinitely many contractible periodic points.
