Dynamic rays of bounded-type transcendental self-maps of the punctured plane. (English) Zbl 1383.37032
The authors study the iteration of holomorphic self-maps of the punctured plane $$\mathbb{C}^* =\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}$$ having $$0$$ and infinity as essential singularities, and they obtain analogues for such functions of several results concerning the dynamics of entire functions.
The authors introduce the class $$\mathcal{B}^*$$ of holomorphic self-maps of $$\mathbb{C}^*$$ for which the set of singularities of the inverse of $$f$$ is bounded away from $$0$$ and infinity. This class is the analogue of the Eremenko-Lyubich class $$\mathcal{B}$$ of entire functions for which the set of singularities of the inverse of $$f$$ is bounded.
The authors prove that for $$f\in\mathcal{B}^*$$, the escaping set $$I(f)$$, that is the set of all points $$z\in \mathbb{C}^*$$ for which the orbit $$\{f^n(z) : n\in\mathbb{N}\}$$ has no accumulation points different from $$0$$ and infinity, is contained in the Julia set $$J(f)$$ of $$f$$. They also obtain an analogue of a result of G. Rottenfusser et al. [Ann. Math. (2) 173, No. 1, 77–125 (2011; Zbl 1232.37025)] by proving that if $$f$$ is a finite composition of transcendental holomorphic self-maps of $$\mathbb{C}^*$$ of finite order, then every point $$z\in I(f)$$ can be connected to $$0$$ or infinity by a curve $$\gamma$$ such that $$f^n|_\gamma\to \{0,\infty\}$$ uniformly with respect to the spherical metric.
The paper contains several other interesting results concerning holomorphic self-maps of $$\mathbb{C}^*$$.
