The sharp normality conjecture for iterates

Let DCD\subset\mathbb C be a domain, let n2n\geq 2, and let ε>0\varepsilon>0. Let F\mathcal F be the family of all holomorphic functions f:DCf:D\to\mathbb C such that

(fn)(ξ)2nε|(f^n)'(\xi)|\leq 2^n-\varepsilon

for every fixed point ξ\xi of fnf^n. Sharp normality conjecture. Then F\mathcal F is normal in DD. The conjecture is known when n=2n=2, while the general case remains open; it predicts the sharp threshold below which the derivative bounds in the normality theorem force normality.
