Abstract

Let Δn\Delta ^{n} be the ball x<1|x|<1 in the complex vector space C\mathbb{C}% ^{n}, let f:ΔnCnf:\Delta ^{n}\to \mathbb{C}^{n} be a holomorphic mapping and let MM be a positive integer. Assume that the origin % 0=(0,..., 0) is an isolated fixed point of both ff and the MM-th iteration fMf^{M} of ff. Then for each factor mm of M,M, the origin is again an isolated fixed point of fmf^{m} and the fixed point index μfm(0)\mu_{f^{m}}(0) of fmf^{m} at the origin is well defined, and so is the (local) Dold's index (see [\ref{Do}]) at the origin:% \begin{equation*} P_{M}(f,0)=\sum_{\tau \subset P(M)}(-1)^{#\tau}\mu_{f^{M:\tau}}(0), \end{equation*}% where P(M)P(M) is the set of all primes dividing M,M, the sum extends over all subsets τ\tau of P(M)P(M), #\tau is the cardinal number of τ\tau and % M:\tau =M(\prod_{p\in \tau}p)^{-1}. PM(f,0)P_{M}(f,0) can be interpreted to be the number of periodic points of period MM of ff overlapped at the origin: any holomorphic mapping % f_{1}:\Delta ^{n}\to \mathbb{C}^{n} sufficiently close to ff has exactly PM(f,0)P_{M}(f,0) distinct periodic points of period MM near the origin%, provided that all the fixed points of f1Mf_{1}^{M} near the origin are simple. Note that ff itself has no periodic point of period MM near the origin.. According to M. Shub and D. Sullivan's work [\ref{SS}], a necessary condition so that PM(f,0)0P_{M}(f,0)\neq 0 is that the linear part of ff at the origin has a periodic point of period M.M. The goal of this paper is to prove that this condition is sufficient as well for holomorphic mappings.
