Interesting examples in \(\mathbb{C}^2\) of maps tangent to the identity without domains of attraction (Q2176596)

The author provides a special example of a holomorphic map in \(\mathbb{C}^2\) that is tangent to the identity at the origin and exhibits an interesting dynamical behavior. It is assumed that there is no domain of attraction along any of its characteristic directions at the origin. The author considers the map \(f(z, w)=(z (1-(z-w)),w (1+(z-w)))\). The \(n\)-th iterate of \(f\) acting on a point \((z, w)\in \mathbb{C}\) is denoted as \((z_{n}, w_{n}):=f^{n}(z, w)\) and \((z_{0}, w_{0}):=(z, w)\). This map has three characteristic directions, two of which are not attracting while the third attracts points to that direction, but not to the origin. Further, the author analyzes the dynamics of \(f\) along the remaining characteristic direction [1 : 1] and it is found that the dynamics near [1 : 1] is very interesting even though there is no domain of attraction to the origin along [1 : 1], i.e., there is no domain of \(\mathbb{C}^2\) whose points are attracted to the origin. The dynamics of \(f\) near \(z=w\neq 0\) is also discussed in the paper. Moreover, the author studies different interesting dynamical behaviors near the origin. By adding higher degree terms to the map \(f\) a domain of attraction along one of its characteristic directions may or may not exist. Furthermore, she concludes that: (a) \(g(x, y)=(x-y^{2}+ax^{r+1}, y-xy)\) has a domain of attraction to the origin along [1 : 0], where \(a\in \mathbb{C}^{\times}\) and \(r\in \mathbb{N}\), \(r\geq 3\) or \(a\notin \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}\) and \(r=2\); (b) If \(a\notin \mathbb{R}_{> 0}\), then \(h(x, y)=(x-y^{2}+ax^{3}, y-xy)\) has no domain of attraction to the origin along any direction.
