This paper deals with geometric endomorphisms of the Hesse moduli space of elliptic curves. The authors consider the geometric map \(\mathcal{C}\), called Cayleyan, associating to a plane cubic \(E\) the adjoint of its dual curve. They show that \(\mathcal{C}\) and the classical hessian map \(\mathcal{H}\) generate a free semigroup. \N\NThey begin the investigation of the geometry and dynamics of these maps, and of the geometrically special elliptic curves: these are the elliptic curves isomorphic to cubics in the Hesse pencil which are fixed by some endomorphism belonging to the semigroup \(\mathcal{W}(\mathcal{H},\mathcal{C})\) generated by \(\mathcal{H},\mathcal{C}\). They point out then how the dynamic behaviours of \(\mathcal{H}\) and \(\mathcal{C}\) differ drastically. \N\NFirstly, concerning the number of real periodic points: for \(\mathcal{H}\) these are infinitely many, for \(\mathcal{C}\) they are just 4. Secondly, the Julia set of \(\mathcal{H}\) is the whole projective line, unlike what happens for all elements of \(\mathcal{W}(\mathcal{H},\mathcal{C})\) which are not iterates of \(\mathcal{H}\). \N\NThis paper is organized as follows: Section 1 is an introduction to the subject, the main results and to the hessian and the Cayley construction. Section 2 deals with Hesse pencil, Hesse group and equations for the hessian and cayleyan maps. Section 3 is devoted to some generalities on periodic points and real periodic points of rational maps. Section 4 deals with semigroup generated by \(\mathcal{H}, \mathcal{C}\) and geometrically special elliptic curves. Section 5 is devoted to the geometry of the map \(\mathcal{C}\) and its real periodic points. Here, the authors begin a qualitative study of the geometry of \(\mathcal{C}\) and of its iterates. It is important to understand the behavior at the fixed points of \(\mathcal{C}\). Section 6 deals with the geometry of the map \(\mathcal{H}\) and its real periodic points. Section 7 is devoted to Julia sets of endomorphisms in the semigroup \(\mathcal{W}(\mathcal{H}, \mathcal{C})\) and directions of further research.
