We study endomorphisms constructed by Sarah Koch in [Teichmüller theory and critically finite endomorphisms, Advances in Mathematics 248 (2013), 573–617] and we focus on the eigenvalues of the differential of such maps at its fixed points. To each post-critically finite unicritical polynomial, Koch associated a post-critically algebraic endomorphism of
C
P
k
{\mathbb {CP}}^k
. Koch showed that the eigenvalues of the differentials of such maps along periodic cycles outside the post-critical sets have modulus strictly greater than
1
1
. In this article, we show that the eigenvalues of the differentials at fixed points are either
0
0
or have modulus strictly greater than
1
1
. This confirms a conjecture proposed by the author in his thesis. We also provide a concrete description of such values in terms of the multiplier of a unicritical polynomial.
A holomorphic endomorphism of
${{\mathbb {CP}}}^n$
is post-critically algebraic if its critical hypersurfaces are periodic or preperiodic. This notion generalizes the notion of post-critically finite rational maps in dimension one. We will study the eigenvalues of the differential of such a map along a periodic cycle. When
$n=1$
, a well-known fact is that the eigenvalue along a periodic cycle of a post-critically finite rational map is either superattracting or repelling. We prove that, when
$n=2$
, the eigenvalues are still either superattracting or repelling. This is an improvement of a result by Mattias Jonsson [Some properties of 2-critically finite holomorphic maps of P2. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.18(1) (1998), 171–187]. When
$n\geq 2$
and the cycle is outside the post-critical set, we prove that the eigenvalues are repelling. This result improves one obtained by Fornæss and Sibony [Complex dynamics in higher dimension. II. Modern Methods in Complex Analysis (Princeton, NJ, 1992) (Annals of Mathematics Studies, 137). Ed. T. Bloom, D. W. Catlin, J. P. D’Angelo and Y.-T. Siu, Princeton University Press, 1995, pp. 135–182] under a hyperbolicity assumption on the complement of the post-critical set.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
