Fixed points
Every non-identity Möbius transformation has two fixed points on the Riemann sphere. Note that the fixed points are counted here with multiplicity; the parabolic transformations are those where the fixed points coincide. Either or both of these fixed points may be the point at infinity.
Determining the fixed points
The fixed points of the transformation
are obtained by solving the fixed point equation f(γ) = γ. For c ≠ 0, this has two roots obtained by expanding this equation to
and applying the quadratic formula. The roots are
Note that for parabolic transformations, which satisfy (a+d)2 = 4(ad−bc), the fixed points coincide. Note also that the discriminant is
When c = 0, the quadratic equation degenerates into a linear equation. This corresponds to the situation that one of the fixed points is the point at infinity. When a ≠ d the second fixed point is finite and is given by
In this case the transformation will be a simple transformation composed of translations, rotations, and dilations:
If c = 0 and a = d, then both fixed points are at infinity, and the Möbius transformation corresponds to a pure translation:
