Bedford's conjecture on basins of attraction of non-autonomous automorphisms

Let (Φn,n+1)nN(\Phi_{n,n+1})_{n\in\mathbb N} be a family of automorphisms of Cq\mathbb C^q. Assume that there exist 0<νμ<10<\nu\leq\mu<1 and r>0r>0 such that

νzΦn,n+1(z)μz,zrBq, nN.\nu|z|\leq |\Phi_{n,n+1}(z)|\leq \mu|z|,\quad z\in r\mathbb B^q,\ n\in\mathbb N.

The basin of attraction

{zCq:limnΦn1,nΦ0,1(z)=0}\{z\in\mathbb C^q: \lim_{n\to\infty}\Phi_{n-1,n}\circ\cdots\circ\Phi_{0,1}(z)=0\}

is Bedford's conjecture. biholomorphic to Cq\mathbb C^q. The conjecture asks whether every basin arising from such a uniformly contracting sequence of automorphisms is biholomorphic to affine space; the surrounding discussion notes that the corresponding basin is known to be Stein, Runge, Kobayashi-degenerate, and diffeomorphic to Cq\mathbb C^q, while biholomorphic equivalence remains open when 2\ell\geq2.
