Abstract: If phi is an analytic selfmap of the disk (not an elliptic automorphism) the Denjoy-Wolff Theorem predicts the existence of a point p with |p|leq1 such that the iterates phin converge to p uniformly on compact subsets of the disk. Since these iterates are bounded analytic functions, there is a subset of the unit circle of full linear measure where they all well-defined. We address the question of whether convergence to p still holds almost everywhere on the unit circle. The answer depends on the location of p and the dynamical properties of phi. We show that when |p|<1(elliptic case), pointwise a.e. convergence holds if and only if phi is not an inner function. When |p|=1 things are more delicate. We show that when phi is hyperbolic or type I parabolic, then pointwise a.e. convergence holds always. The last case, type II parabolic remains open at this moment, but we conjecture the answer to be as in the elliptic case.
