Abstract:
Fixed points play an important part in the dynamics of a holomorphic map. Given a holomorphic self-map of a unit disc, all of its fixed points, with the exception of at most one of them, lie on the boundary of the disc. Furthermore, it turns out that the existence of an angular derivative and its value at a boundary fixed point affect significantly the behaviour of the map itself and its iterates. In addition, some classical problems in geometric function theory acquire new settings and statements in this context. In the talk, we consider these questions.
