Universal entire functions for affine endomorphisms of \(\mathbb C^N\) (Q1773321)

Let \(S: \mathbb C^N \rightarrow \mathbb C^N\) be an affine endomorphism, say \(Sz=Az+b\) \((z \in \mathbb C^N)\), and \(C_S\) be the composition operator generated by \(S\). The main result of this paper is the equivalence of the following four properties: (a) \(S\) has no fixed point in \(\mathbb C^N\) and \(\det(A) \neq 0\); (b) The vector \(b\) is not in rank\((A-I)\) and det\((A) \neq 0\); (c) \(C_S\) is universal; (d) \(C_S\) is hereditarity universal. In particular, it completely characterizes the affine endomorphisms of \(\mathbb C^N\) which support compositionally universal entire functions.
