Abstract

We consider holomorphic maps of surfaces of complex dimension two. Such a map is said to be conservative if it preserves volume. We discuss the properties of these maps and present a number of open problems.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A Hénon map cannot be expressed as an automorphism of a compact surface. This is because by [16], the dynamical degree of a Hénon map is an integer greater than 1, whereas the dynamical degree of an automorphism of a compact surface cannot be rational, unless it is 1 (see [9]).

  2. 2.

    A component \(\varOmega \) is said to be wandering if \(f^n(\varOmega )\cap \varOmega =\emptyset \) for all nonzero \(n\in {\mathbb Z}\). It is an open question, in the dissipative case \(|\delta |<1\), whether polynomial automorphisms can have wandering Fatou components.
