Abstract
Let be a bounded domain in a complex Banach space. According to the Earle-Hamilton fixed point theorem, if a holomorphic mapping maps strictly into itself, then it has a unique fixed point and its iterates converge to this fixed point locally uniformly. Now let be the open unit ball in a complex Hilbert space and let be holomorphic. We show that a similar conclusion holds even if the image is not strictly inside , but is contained in a horosphere internally tangent to the boundary of . This geometric condition is equivalent to the fact that is asymptotically strongly nonexpansive with respect to the hyperbolic metric in .
