Parametrization of unstable manifolds for parabolic skew-products

Abstract

Given a parabolic map in one dimension $f(z)=z+O(z^2)$, $f\ne Id$, it is known that there exists the analogous of stable and unstable domains. That is, domains in which every point is attracted by $f$ (and by the inverse $f^{-1}$) towards the fixed point. In this paper we prove that there exists a natural parametrization for the unstable manifold in terms of iterates for some subset of parabolic maps. Furthermore, we prove that this parametrization is valid also in the case of skew-product maps that satisfy certain conditions. Finally, we give an application of this fact to construct Fatou disks for skew-product maps that are parabolic in each direction.
