On a manifold X of dimension at least two, let μ be a nonatomic measure of full support with μ(∂X) = 0. The Oxtoby-Ulam Theorem says that ergodicity of μ is a residual property in the group of homeomorphisms which preserve μ. Daalderop and Fokkink have recently shown that density of periodic points is residual as well. We provide a proof of their result which replaces the dependence upon the Annulus Theorem by a direct construction which assures topologically robust periodic points.
