[For the entire collection see Zbl 0725.00007.] Let \(M\) be a hyperbolic manifold, with Kobayashi metric \(K_ M\) and Kobayashi distance \(k_ M\), and let \(N\) be a Hermitian complex manifold with metric \(h_ N\) and distance \(d_ N\). If \(\Delta\) denotes the unit disc in \(\mathbb{C}\), a holomorphic map \(F:M\to N\) is said to be normal if the family of maps \(\{F\circ g\mid g:\Delta\to M\) holomorphic\} is a normal family. Normal maps are related to Bloch maps, i.e., to holomorphic maps \(F:M\to N\) such that \[ Q(F)=\sup_{p\in M}\sup_{|\xi|=1}h_ N(f(p),\;dF(p)\xi)/K_ M(p,\xi)<\infty, \] where \(h_ N\) is the Hermitian metric on \(N\) and \(K_ M\) is the Kobayashi metric on \(M\). Every Bloch map is normal and, if \(N\) is compact, every normal map is a Bloch map. The main aim of the paper is to describe the asymptotic behavior of normal maps. In this study it is important to determine the existence or nonexistence of certain special sequences, called by the author \(P\)- sequences, defined as follows. A sequence \(\{p_ n\}\) in \(M\) is a \(P\)- sequence for \(F\) if there exists a sequence \(\{q_ n\}\) in \(M\) such that \(\lim_{n\to\infty}k_ M(p_ n,q_ n)=0\) and \(\limsup_{n\to\infty}d_ N(F(p_ n)\), \(F(q_ n))\geq\varepsilon\) for some \(\varepsilon>0\). A typical result for normal maps is the following: If \(X\) is a relatively compact complex subspace of \(N\), \(F:M\to X\) is normal if and only if there is no \(P\)-sequence for \(F\). Also, for normal maps Lindelöf-type theorems are proved. Some basic properties of nonnormal maps are discussed and, using the existence of \(P\)-sequences, some results on their cluster sets are given.
