On the failure of the Denjoy-Wolff Theorem in convex domains

Abstract

In this note, we construct examples of bounded smooth convex domains with no non-trivial analytic discs on the boundary which possess a holomorphic self-map without fixed points so that the iterates do not converge to a point (that is, the Denjoy-Wolff theorem does not hold). We also show that, in the case of bounded convex domains with $C^{1+\epsilon }$-smooth boundary which have non-trivial analytic discs on the boundary, the cluster set of the orbits of holomorphic self-maps without fixed points can be equal to the principal part of any prime end of any planar bounded simply connected domain.
