Isometry-invariant geodesics and the fundamental group, II

We show that on a closed Riemannian manifold with fundamental group isomorphic to Z, other than the circle, every isometry that is homotopic to the identity possesses infinitely many invariant geodesics. This completes a recent result of the second author.
