Bedford's basin conjecture for contracting automorphisms

About 11 years old · traced to

Let Bn\mathbb B_n be the unit ball in Cn\mathbb C^n, and let f1,f2,…f_1,f_2,\ldots be automorphisms of Cn\mathbb C^n fixing the origin. Suppose there are real numbers a,ba,b with 0<a<b<10<a<b<1 such that, for every z∈Bnz\in\mathbb B_n and k∈Nk\in\mathbb N,

a∥z∥≤∥fk(z)∥≤b∥z∥.a\|z\|\leq\|f_k(z)\|\leq b\|z\|.

Bedford's conjecture. The basin of attraction

{z∈Cn:Fm(z):=(fm∘⋯∘f1)(z)→0 as m→∞}\{z\in\mathbb C^n: F_m(z):=(f_m\circ\cdots\circ f_1)(z)\to0\ \text{as }m\to\infty\}

is biholomorphic to Cn\mathbb C^n. This is a central basin problem in several complex variables; the source presents it as open.
