Abstract

Let K be a compact subset of the unit disk \(\mathbb {D}\). We examine the asymptotic behavior of its trajectory under a semigroup of holomorphic self-maps (ϕt)t≥ 0 of \(\mathbb {D}\). More specifically, we obtain results concerning its geometric characteristics such as hyperbolic area, hyperbolic diameter, as well as potential theoretic quantities. Those are the harmonic measure of ϕt(K), its equilibrium measure and its Green equilibrium potential.
