Abstract: In transcendental dynamics significant progress has been made by studying points whose iterates escape to infinity at least as fast as iterates of the maximum modulus. Here we take the novel approach of studying points whose iterates escape at least as fast as iterates of the {it minimum} modulus, and obtain new results related to Eremenko's conjecture and Baker's conjecture, and the rate of escape in Baker domains. To do this we prove a result of wider interest concerning the existence of points that escape to infinity under the iteration of a positive continuous function.

Review text

Let \(f\) be a transcendental entire function and let \(m(r)=\min_{|z|=r}|f(z)|\) be the minimum modulus of \(f\). Let \(m^n(r)\) be the \(n\)-th iterate of \(m(r)\). The authors consider functions for which which there exists \(r>0\) such that \(m^n(r)\to\infty\). They show that this condition holds for large classes of functions. For example, this is the case for functions of order less than \(1/2\), for function with Fabry gaps, or functions with multiply connected wandering domains. Next the authors relate this condition to conjectures of Eremenko and Baker, saying that all components of the escaping set of an entire function are unbounded, and that the Fatou set of an entire function of order less than \(1/2\) has no bounded components. They show that the conclusion of these conjectures holds if \(f\) satisfies the above condition on the iterated minimum modulus and suitable additional hypotheses. They also show that certain sets occurring in this study are \textit{spiders' webs}.
