| **Fixed point in $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$:** the Brouwer fixed point theorem implies that every $f \in \operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb{D})$ has a fixed point in $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$ (once $f$ has been extended holomorphically to an open superset of $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$). It would be interesting to see a complex-analytic proof, especially since I don't know how to prove the Brouwer fixed point theorem. | **Fixed point in $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$:** the Brouwer fixed point theorem implies that every $f \in \operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb{D})$ has a fixed point in $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$ (once $f$ has been extended holomorphically to an open superset of $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$).
