Let \(F\) and \(G\) be two holomorphic maps of the unit polydisc \(\Delta^n\) which are continuous on the closure \(\overline{\Delta}^n\) of \(\Delta^n\). It is well-known that if \(F\) and \(G\) commute under composition, they have a common fixed point in \(\overline{\Delta}^n\). Several questions arise concerning the cardinality and the location in \(\overline{\Delta}^n\) of the set of all common fixed points. Some of these questions are investigated in this article, under the additional hypothesis that \(F\) and \(G\) map into itself the Šilov boundary of \(\overline{\Delta}^n\), which is the \(n\)-dimensional torus \({\mathbf T}^n\). The main result of this paper is summarized by the following theorem, in which \(F\) and \(G\) denote also the restrictions of these maps to \({\mathbf T}^n\). Theorem. Let \(F\) and \(G\) be two holomorphic maps of \(\Delta^n\) which are continuous on \(\overline{\Delta}^n\), map \({\mathbf T}^n\) into itself and are expanding on \({\mathbf T}^n\). If these maps commute on \({\mathbf T}^n\) then they commute on \(\overline{\Delta}^n\) and have a unique fixed point in \(\Delta^n\). If, moreover, the numbers \(n(F)\) and \(n(G)\), respectively, of the fixed points of \(F\) and \(G\) on \({\mathbf T}^n\), are relatively prime, then \(F\) and \(G\) have a unique common fixed point also on \({\mathbf T}^n\).
