Rational proper holomorphic maps from \(\mathbf B^n\) into \(\mathbf B^{2n}\) (Q1772089)

Let \(N>n>1\) and denote by Rat\(({\mathbf B}^n, {\mathbf B}^N)\) the space of all proper rational holomorphic mappings from \({\mathbf B}^n\) into \({\mathbf B}^N\). For \(N<2n-1\), by Webster (1979), Rat\(({\mathbf B}^n, {\mathbf B}^{n+1})\) has only one equivalence class for \(n>2\). By Faran (1986), for \(N<2n-1\), Rat\(({\mathbf B}^n, {\mathbf B}^N)\) has only one equivalence class. For \(N=2n-1\), by Faran (1982), Rat\(({\mathbf B}^2, {\mathbf B}^3)\) has exactly four equivalence classes. By Huang-Ji (2001), when \(n>2\), Rat\(({\mathbf B}^n, {\mathbf B}^{2n-1})\) has exactly two equivalence classes. For \(N>2n-1\), the situation for Rat\(({\mathbf B}^n, {\mathbf B}^{N})\) is quite different. As example, D'Angelo (1988) constructed a continuous family of mutually inequivalent proper polynomial embeddings from \({\mathbf B}^n\) into \({\mathbf B}^{2n}\): \[ F_{\theta}(z,w)=(z,(\cos\theta)w,(\sin\theta)z_1w, \dots, (\sin\theta)z_{n-1}w, (\sin\theta)w^2) \] where \(0< \theta\leq \pi/2\) and \((z,w)\in \mathbb C^{n-1}\times \mathbb C.\) In this paper, using the same argument developed \textit{X. Huang} and \textit{S. Ji} [Invent. Math. 145, No. 2, 219--250 (2001; Zbl 1038.32018)], the author shows that when \(n\geq 4\), any map in Rat\(({\mathbf B}^n, {\mathbf B}^{2n})\) is equivalent to \(F_{\theta}\) for a certain \(\theta\) with \(0\leq \theta\leq \pi/2\).
