Fatou maps in \(\mathbb{P}^n\) dynamics (Q1811901)

Summary: We study the dynamics of a holomorphic selfmap \(f\) of a complex projective space of degree \(d > 1\) by utilizing the notion of a Fatou map, introduced originally by \textit{T. Ueda} [RIMS Kokyuroku 988, 188-191 (1997; Zbl 0925.32009)] and independently by the author [Complex dynamics on projective spaces, Ph. D. thesis, University of Michigan, Michigan (2000)]. A Fatou map is intuitively like an analytic subvariety on which the dynamics of \(f\) are a normal family (such as a local stable manifold of a hyperbolic periodic point). We show that global stable manifolds of hyperbolic fixed points are given by Fatou maps. We further show that they are necessarily Kobayashi hyperbolic and are always ramified by \(f\) (and therefore any hyperbolic periodic point attracts a point of the critical set of \(f\)). We also show that Fatou components are hyperbolically embedded in \(\mathbb{P}^n\) and that a Fatou component which is attracted to a taut subset of itself is necessarily taut.
