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

About 1 year old · traced to

Let N≥1N\ge1 and let F:DN→DNF:\mathbb D^N\to\mathbb D^N be holomorphic and without fixed points. Write F∘nF^{\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 σ∈∂D\sigma\in\partial\mathbb D such that

lim⁡n→∞πj(F∘n(z))=σ\lim_{n\to\infty}\pi_j(F^{\circ n}(z))=\sigma

for every z∈DNz\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.
