The stability of a fixed point of an area-preserving transformation in the plane is characterized by the invariant curves which surround it. The existence of invariant curves had been extensively studied for elliptic fixed points. Here we study the similar problem for parabolic fixed points. In particular we are interested in the case where the fixed point is at infinity.
