Bedford's basin conjecture for contracting automorphisms

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 zBnz\in\mathbb B_n and kNk\in\mathbb N,

azfk(z)bz.a\|z\|\leq\|f_k(z)\|\leq b\|z\|.

Bedford's conjecture. The basin of attraction

{zCn:Fm(z):=(fmf1)(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.
