Coordinate convergence conjecture for fixed-point-free polydisc self-maps

Let N1N\ge1 and let F:DNDNF:\mathbb D^N\to\mathbb D^N be holomorphic and without fixed points. Write FnF^{\circ n} for the nn-fold iterate and let πj(z)=zj\pi_j(z)=z_j be projection onto the jj-th coordinate. Polydisc coordinate-convergence conjecture. There exist j{1,,N}j\in\{1,\ldots,N\} and σD\sigma\in\partial\mathbb D such that

limnπj(Fn(z))=σ\lim_{n\to\infty}\pi_j(F^{\circ n}(z))=\sigma

for every zDNz\in\mathbb D^N. This would rule out the more complicated target-set behavior suggested by general inclusion results for fixed-point-free self-maps of polydiscs; the source states it as generally believed but unresolved.
