On the linearization of a class of semigroups on the unit ball of \(\mathbb{C}^ n\) (Q1342834)

The author proves a generalization to the case of the unit ball in \(\mathbb{C}^ n\) of the Berkson-Porta theorem concerning ``linearization'' of one-parameter holmorphic semigroups. Let \(\Phi\) be a semigroup of holomorphic mappings of the unit ball in \(C^ n\) parametrized by \(R^ +\). Then \(\Phi\) possesses an infinitesimal generator \(F\), i.e. such a holomorphic map that \({\partial \Phi \over \partial t} = F \circ \Phi\). A mapping \(F\) is said to be of one- dimensional type if there exists such a holomorphic function \(\alpha\) in the unit ball, that \(F(z) = \alpha (z)\) \((\langle z, \tau \rangle - 1)\) \((z - \tau)\), where \(\tau\) is either a fixed point of \(\Phi\) or the so- called Wolff point. It is proved that a holomorphic map \(F\) of one-dimensional type is a generator of a one-parameter semigroup iff \(\text{Re} \alpha \geq 0\).
