Periodic points of some algebraic maps (Q836703)

The author studies the local dynamics of maps \(f(z) = -z - \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{n} z^{n+1}\), where \(f(z)\) is an irreducible branch of the algebraic curve given by (1) \(\Psi(z, w) = z + w + \sum_{i+j=2}^{n} a_{ij} z^{j}w^{j}\). Considering maps defined by (1) in the form of the sum of the homogeneous polynomial of degree n, this is (2) \(\Psi^{n}(z, w) = z + w + \sum_{j=0}^{n} a_{n-j, j} z^{n-j}w^{j} = 0\), where the superscript (n) denotes the degree of the polynomial in (2) and indicates the focus quantities relevant to (2). The author proves that the center and cyclicity problems of the map (2) have simple solutions when n is odd. When n is even some partial results are obtained.
