Fatou components of attracting skew-products (Q1742931)

The existence or non-existence of wandering Fatou components is an interesting problem in complex dynamics. The authors study this problem for a class of sub-hyperbolic skew-products in two complex variables: \((z,w)\to(f(z,w),g(w))\), where \(f(z,w)=z^d+a_{d-1}(w)z^{d-1}+\cdots+a_0(w)\), \(0=g(0)\) is an attracting fixed point for \(g(w)\) with attracting basin \(B_g\), and \(p(z)=f(z,0)\) is sub-hyperbolic. They show the non-existence of wandering Fatou components in \(\mathbb{C}\times B_g\). Set \(F^n(z,w)=(F^n_1(z,w),F^n_2(z,w))\). The critical points for the iteration are the points \(z\) such that \(\frac{\partial F^n_1}{\partial z}(z,w)=0\), where \(w\) is chosen from some neighborhood of the origin. One difficult problem is the study of the intersection of the critical points (those points satisfying \(\frac{\partial f(z,w)}{\partial z}=0\)) with the Julia set of \(p\), another is the estimate of the critical points with iteration and \(F^n_1(z,w)\) is not in a neighborhood of infinity or a neighborhood of the post-critical set of \(p\), where the linearization map plays an important role. Area estimates are also considered, where the area of a neighborhood of infinity under the inverse iteration of \(p\), and the area of the inverse of a proper holomorphic map of degree \(d\) are studied. An open question is whether the same conclusions hold if \(p(z)\) is semi-hyperbolic.
