Ergodicity, numerical range, and fixed points of holomorphic mappings

In this paper, we study the local structure of the fixed point set of a holomorphic mapping defined on a (not necessarily bounded or convex) domain in a complex Banach space, using ergodic theory of linear operators and the nonlinear numerical range introduced by L. A. Harris. We provide several constructions of holomorphic retractions and a generalization of Cartan's Uniqueness Theorem. We also estimate the deviation of a holomorphic mapping from its linear approximation, the Fr,chet derivative at a fixed point.
