The closing lemma for holomorphic maps

From MaRDI portal





Let \(f\) be an endomorphism of a smooth manifold \(M\) and \(d\) be a distance compatible with the topology. In the celebrated paper of Pugh it was shown that for any diffeomorphism \(f\) of a compact manifold and any \(C^1\) neighborhood \(V\) of \(f\), there is a diffeomorphism \(g\in V\) such that \(x\) is periodic for \(g\), where \(x\) is a recurrent point of \(f\), that is \[ \varliminf_{n\to \infty} d(f^n(x),x)= 0. \] The question, in this form, is open for the \(C^k\), \(k\geq 2\), topology. One can ask a similar question for symplectic diffeomorphisms and flows. Here the authors prove that the closing lemma is true for biholomorphisms of \(\mathbb{C}^k\), endomorphisms of \(\mathbb{C}^k\) and symplectic biholomorphisms of \(\mathbb{C}^{2p}\). Moreover the authors present the closing lemma for Hamiltonian vector fields in \(\mathbb{C}^2\).
